poem for my daughter

I spoon it

in: strained chicken noodle dinner

junior prunes

junior fruit dessert.

spoon it in and

for Christ’s sake

don’t blame the

child

don’t blame the

govt.

don’t blame the bosses or the

working classes—

spoon it down

into that little mouth

like melted

wax.

a friend phones:

“whatya gonna do now, Hank?”

“what the hell ya mean, what am I gonna

do?”

“I mean ya got responsibility now, ya gotta bring the

kid up

right.”

I feed her instead:

spoon it in!

may she achieve

a place in Beverly Hills

with never any need for unemployment compensation

and never have to sell to the highest

bidder.
