no choice
by Michele Schottelkorbsleepless nights
not by choice
baby is growing
but puppies still have accidents
(at four years)
foul odor
killing my senses
but dutiful i am
a mother, it's true
i have become
whether a child, growing upper or beast
i shall clean up
after you 05/29/2003 Author's Note: this one long sleepless night...
