Intense Mama Writes a Letter
Mama writes a nine page letter to me
The school counselor
Wanting me to lop off some heads, twist some arms,
Do other things I would never do
She wants someone to pay.
I read lots of anger in her
large angry block letters
She thinks her baby has been victimized
I know her baby who is certainly not blameless.
I wait for the principal, suspecting this is a neighborhood problem.
Principal has been here six years, she concurs my suspicions
and answers the mother.
Huge relief for me.
