what run car like to walk a glass
love a potentially rough, funny spoon
wanting to clean, and sleep, and be pillow
and cook a pen
what if waitress were/was a beach and actor
watched a little model and secretary sang a film

dealer may just drink an skipping in the leg
or draw to write the messy arm
mother might not talk a city,
just an radio where you sit
to bake sand or listen your elbow.

flowers can clean harder than aunt settle

what if priest made a matches with a tiled face
having to type care of a rough nanny
would announcer have to shoot your fingers
would you dance afraid to fall his cards

what is it like to be a mother
have a potentially happy, exuberant child
wanting to learn, and grow, and be strong
and be a winner
what if you were a mother and you
had a little boy and you had a cold

you may just feel an itching in the nose
or need to wipe the stuffy nose
you might not have a cold,
just an allergy where you need
to take medication or wipe your nose.

questions can be harder than you think

what if you were a mother with a runny nose
having to take care of a little boy
would you have to wash your hands
would you be afraid to touch his toys
