Milk
In blinded morning, a can of sweetened milk on hand.
Ran to Papa, telling him its emptiness.
Papa said, "Mama is being so busy"
while I was thinking "Maybe, Mama has a liter of milk"
He sealed my mouth by his promise, buying a fresh one.
I just stopped wondering "Is it mine or Papa's?".
Then, I thought the most correct one was "It is Mama's".
I didn't care, indeed. I was just thirsty of milk.
In half day, Papa came home.
Yelled at him cheerfully, unpacked his bag.
But, I found nothing till the last stuff.
An innocent faced-Papa said "Sorry",
butI was a child, only thought crying loudly was saying much.
Mama came to me and said "Don't cry!, I have a liter of milk".
An innocent face changed into panic.
Mama picked me, taking me to her room.
Papa followed us hurriedly, grabbed Mama
and stay a little bit away from me.
They were talking too fast, incoherently: sounding like bilingual voices.
Mama turned up and walked,
left Papa with his panic face.
In the room, Mama had me to lie in a soft bed.
I took a brief look at Papa, he stood still behind the door.
While Mama changed her suit, I was thinking of "what's wrong with Papa".
I didn't care, indeed. I was just thirsty of milk, not a MILK: 'MOM, I'd Like to Knock'.
In mid of wondering, Mama surprised me,
brought me a pack of fresh milk.
I only said thanks, kissed her and ran away to my room,
stopped a while to look at Papa, he gave me a big smile.
Then, I canceled to say "Don't be panic, Papa!"
and ran away
