when a child cries
in the middle of the night
i get up first
this is how i am
cooking and washing dishes
doing the laundry
a kind of monster
i suppose
what happens when men
become gracious or helpful
the whole world
could end
or when women
no longer have to figure
a way out so as
not to impose
nor be a slave
*
but back to now
are you hungry or tired
let me make you
something
to eat
