7 haiku 62
On the way to work
is a billboard showing an
old woman smiling
proudly, having raised
over one hundred foster
children. I wonder
if her house smells of
cooking, used coloring books
and wet galoshes.
Talking in the car
I wonder if she counted,
or when she started,
and how do the names
run together and which were
the problem children.
Today a mother
told me boys are easier
to bring up than girls.
Call this perception
"depth" and risk confusing it
with all your charges.
