When I've been up since 2am
Writing debate speeches for the youngest
And so missed the pasta that had gone bad,
And so had the youngest fall violently sick
Just when i was at the airport seeing off my folks
And so had to rush home to take her to the doctors
And give her meds
And long to collape into bed
Only to find...
I can't take it anymore
That the son went to tuition
Without the test he failed
And still
To have him beg me for permisson
to watch a movie with his friends the next day
That i gave because he wore me out
To have him home, lost to the laptop for 4 hours, while i coached and cajoled fhe youngest to have confidence in her debates
Without touching his homework without me hovering and reminding
I can't take it anymore
Work
The kids
I couldn't even write this poem
Though it's writing itself now
I can't take it anymore.
