week one of play-school.
august in texas and still
he has his first cold.
his teacher is great.
she won't send him with strangers--
unless they are germs.
if you two stayed home
he might not ever get sick.
what, ho, mental health?
no vaccine will ward off
every scary thing out there.
this one's gonna hurt.
you are afflicted--
acute guilt for a cute kid.
it's a chronic case.
the working mom's plight,
no way to protect your heart
or his body now.
