Imaginings

                                    Children

They don't come with instructions, batteries or which buttons to push. They are not mannequins or puppets to be stringed along but how we wished. They come single in pairs or in an ambush, you'll know in nine months... sometimes sooner if you fool yourself _ _ _ _ _

                              Babies Having Babies

I sit think and wonder... of girls growing up today, transformed from playing house with Barbie... to having babies at twelve _ _ _ _ _

                               The Barrel Of A Gun

We raise them best as we could, from infancy into their childhood. The middle years reaching their teens, blessings from our wedding rings. Difficult times lay ahead.... they meet new friends and as if in a cult... pray us dead. _ _ _ _ _

I remember playing house, make up, dress up with my kid, shoes much too big for her tiny feet... an assortment of mommy's dresses which never seemed to fit, trying on high heel shoes just to grow a bit... lipstick in an amuck fashion _ _ _ _ _

                                  Monkey On Your Back

If you don't want to feel the monkey's weight on your back or the painful withdrawals from heroine and smoking crack... don't let your life be driven by the dealer sporting the B M W or Cadillac. While you waste away with _ _ _ _ _

                                       Without Blinking

You'll think they'll take it slow... sit with you awhile hold your hands and smile... say I love you mom, I love you dad... just on the now and then. Guess they're too busy out with friends _ _ _ _ _

                                      What Dads Are For
