Wounded Sacred Dementia: Part Two

suboptimizingly hesitates
when I tell her
I have not changed my mind
about not adopting Fetal Alcohol Syndrome
into my vulnerable home
with a seven-year-old AfricanAmerican boy
blind
and unable to defend himself,

No Halloween Candy

I can't get no Halloween candy.

Already in the shower
Getting ready for bed
Craving
Cheese...
