Want

a poem

By G. Douglas KerrPublished about a year ago 1 min read

You threw a tantrum

back when you were five

about the glass of

juice you did not get

while your mother chugged

three in succession.

.

I could not raise you

without that juice glass

that you did not get.

I am a hermit and sometimes come out of my shell.
