foreboding
by Philip F De Pinto
out of the corner of her eye,
father, conversely with his son.
son, it seemed to me
a good idea at the time.
what's that dad? my coming into the world?
no, not your entering into the world, son
but my entering your mother
while I was donning white socks
and this is the reason you are
the son of my delight and not my darling daughter.
for it was forebode me by soothsayers
a forth year of so ago
that donning such socks
while entering your mother
would be good predictors of sons,
and so they were
and so they were and so you are,
and socks is why you are the son of my delight
and not my darling daughter.
and if you are wise my son
in the case you were thinking to carry on
this masculine line
never forget to don your white socks
while making entry
and in addition you should be notified
that these socks ( white ) not be riddled with holes
lest such holes inspire a toe or two to wiggle out of their masculine contract.
and worse you may conceive a line
dispensed into the world
with attitudes holier than thou.
