Mum

MUM

always there

     mums the word

after all her eyes

     are everywhere

in the backseat

              drying all

the steamy windows

   winking at you

opening the car door

       chasing away

the tawdry blond

   it’s all for the good

of her handsome son

           she won’t let you get away

and she’ll chase you down

                to plant a kiss

on her firstborn 

                         toddler son
