John's Slushy Rant

new mothers

            young  
		
                          youngish women,
             under thirty years old 

okay,   walkin down the sidewalk 
                                           with a stroller and a baby –

	oh, 
                    and also wearing very hot clothing.
                                                                      like hot.

			like hey-I’m-looking-super-attractive hot.

why. 		why?
		       	why!?

 	- huh

she already bagged a mate!

like unless she’s lookin
		      for -
	                      a new mate –

like if she’s a mom
	     with a stable husband
		                 on the sidewalk -

		        and a baby -


why you lookin all hot like that!

I am so happy to have the time to read your excellent poetry this beautiful Saturday morning Andrew. She wants to still be attractive to her mate. Keep your pen flowing. Love, Carol
