"oh boy" (uttered with a sigh)

my mother has been invading my house
with her "oh boy's"
and her determination that you clean your plate
sometimes I see her
watching me from my mirror
determined still to see it through
pushing at my mind with her
questions, doubts and fears
and I say, go away
but she just stares
and from her lips slip the words,
"oh boy"
