Mothers Behave

You white trash mothers better behave.
Don’t you go blaming that school
for your third grader’s neuroses, which are
really your own.

Nobody says you’ve had a crystal stair.
Yes your daughter’s father is an alcoholic
and your aging parents are separated
and poor. Those contradictory counselors.

I suppose it really does seem that the world is out to get you.

But your beautiful asthmatic mulatto daughter wasn't supposed
to inherit that.
