She is overwhelmed, crying.
Please, refrain from trying
to ‘fix’. Belittle your logic.
She does not seek your reasoning
To invalidate her feeling
Her delicate state longs for support
Not a reason ridden retort.
Caress her soft cheek
With understanding and acceptance-
Not answers.
She is mighty, and intelligent
Aware of the ins and
You are out of the situation
Do not take this
as time for patronisation.

you an i.v.f. kid? you better be,
i abhor the whole economic affair -
as if living with your parents,
parents, more like patrons -
is a "need" to be guilt ridden -
i'll ask again: you i.v.f.?
no? lol.
        i'm the kind of drunk that
drinks and is ready to trim the lawn
and cook,
   and have a tear jerker when it comes
to
the ghostly foster the people sit next
to me
...
     yep, that type of drunk...
you i.v.f.?!
   i don't know what comes first:
the question, or the exclamation...
       london? *******,
but i'd sooner find myself wishing
to see tokyo than new york...
                      terrorism,
size me up, i'm becoming sterile
given the artefacts...
                          bits & bobs...
  the **** deserves a museum aisle...
body parts and dates,
  and what isn't suppose to levitate -
yeah, i drink,
  but i'm of the 30 year olds who
believes: having a mother is no reason
to feel ashamed,
unlike my english, counterparts....
who demand parenthood be equated
with shame...
  like i said, to reiterate: are you
an i.v.f. child?!
                            **** me,
i can drink, cook dinner, and at the same
time mow a lawn...
       scrub the earth and capture
enough autumnal parachutes
           of gangrene leaves...
          i can't afford a place of my own,
unless i was a copper -
                     then i could,
and none of the people my age
as suddenly stating: i hate my mother,
i hate my father...
                love, well, any other
debilitating drug of choice...
                    i'm still thinking about
the stray dogs of poland,
and the homeless people of england...
strange: treating a dog to be above
a man... battersea bound.
             you know what my rationality
of an irrational fear begins with?
a stray cat...
  a homeless cat...
     a cat that runs away from a woman...
for a cat to run away from its female owner...
that's scary...
                     there's nothing scarier than
a woman who managed to make a cat
run aloof...
                    it's a western thing:
you're supposed to feel ashamed being
conceived with the natural method
of conception...
                  you're supposed to feel
ashamed having parents,
   you're supposed to feel the i.v.f.
patronisation -
                             you'll get lucky
having flatmates for 3 years...
                       and perhaps at a funeral...
      i might be a drunk...
   but as drinking goes:
the majority of pleasure is not derived
from drinking per se, of yet,
rather derived from speaking the truth;
so i'll ask once more:
        you an i.v.f. child, or an orphan?
my father was an "orphan" -
      you put a sly one on me,
  and i swear to god,
      i'll smack one against your jaw
           like any contained volatility might.
