They call me
A...
Mummy
Partner
& Love
They call me
Friend
Lover
Playmate
They call me
Sister
Daughter
& Auntie Iva
They call me
Mother Dearest
When they're feeling
Cultured
& Refined
Or Mummylumps
When feeling
Content
Shiny
Or snugly
They call me
Hey you
Miss
& Ma'am
When I'm just another body
In line
In traffic
In their way
They call me
Vivi
Vi
Or by my full name
When they know my mom and dad
They call me
Student
Client
Patient
Or User
When they want my money
They call me
With tears, sometimes
Or with ire
With confusion
Joy
Or small triumphs
When I have the privilege
Of being their person
They call me names
These are their names
They are not mine
