I ask dad with dread,
will mom be sleeping in your bed?
will mom be sleeping in town tonight?
around tonight?
she flew so fast
after the last fight,
a fast flight
a too
frequent
forage
to ruin other families.
she says he's more
manly
a great guy
who makes her giggle
and gasp
--I've asked to hear less.
I'm not impressed
with this
disappearing act
and how she just
gave dad the ax.
can't she sense
the impact
of
mid life mom
creating crisis at home
creeping in at all hours
unknown?
I don't want to know
where she goes
what she does
who is new
and see her flaws.
but who's to force
a family of four
to be functional?
