she's single, mom of two;
babys' daddy is gone
from their faces,
not their heart.

he's making babies elsewhere,
the entire orb his domain;
his sperm receptacles
are the faceless others.

she's trying to focus
on the invisible
while she understands less
of the visual she sees.

making change with a gypsy
is her lot in life;
and she misses the slight of hand,
gets the incorrect amount in return.
