She bent over to
Straighten out the blanket
Covering baby in stroller.
At bus stop, waiting
As per early weekdays
Smiling with tenderness.
Little Donny was ten months
Product of a foolish relationship.
Lasted only eighteen months.
Carl now sold cars
Out in Regina.
No contact, interest or cash.
Bastard. What had she ever seen?
But she had taken the tiller
Taken the integrity.
Next after daycare
Came factory job til four.
Making computer components.
Half hour lunch.
At dusk picking
Up her little treasure.
