Child Support

By Nariah

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I am becoming aware of the time warp I must have been a part of for- who knows- over an hour now. The walls in the place are ridgid and hard marble like my stomach before his sperm ever entered my body "just a bump in the road" the words from his lawyer, an old family friend defending his parents' hard earned $25 a month. He sits too new clothes, pierced, perfect child capitalist dead beat trench coat to dress coat porn star defended ever-protected. Angry pacifist I cling to my being my mother magic my truth in blue jeans Brown vs. Bernagozzi we enter the courtroom. Then triumphantly $25 a month awarded temporarily for my baby my motherwork and court ajurned. Written June 2nd, 2001 © on Apr 11 2002 11:07 AM PST   0 • 10
