Mom,
Dad and the Other Woman
Wake up mom
We have to get to the hospital
The doctors say he may not make it
through the night
My mother stirs
rolls back a sleepy eye
the covers shift
oh she says
thats too bad
When my father
dies
Uncle Billy and I go to see
the other woman
secretly
She throws
her arms around us
Wailing
Oh dear god
Sobbing
how can I ever live
Shrieking
without him
At last
I sigh
the grieving widow
