My Interrupted Life
I wish I could be solitary
just for a minute or three
to privately
go wee.
I wish I could drink my coffee
before its cold completely.
Hot and frothy,
milky.
I wish I could watch daytime news.
But I don't want to lose
the innocent view
you're due.
I wish I could read a story.
No children on my knee
demandingly
happy.
I wish I could sleep a whole night.
No first annoying sight.
No chink of light,
or fright
I wish I could chat on the phone
without the nagging drone
of a child prone
alone.
I wish I could complete something,
finish without juggling
and dropping
a thing.
When you're grown I'll get my wish.
Home alone and you I'll miss.
No goodbye kiss.
No bliss.
