From "Birthing Inadequacy"

Friendless

A little girl,

Dressed in her finest,

Stands alone against the brick wall

Children surround her,

But none reach out.

Her Charlie Brown lunchbox

Bangs against her belly

As she watches them play,

Friends from before.

She is happy to watch,

Content.

Years later

She will have no memory

Of this day.

Still, it will find itself implanted

Through the voice of a mother

Who speaks of fear and tears,

Driving by the school yard

To see if she can see her little one.

She learns that friends are important.

She learns that if she can have enough

They won’t pay as close attention.

She makes it her mission.

She doesn’t want her mom to cry.
