The Careers of My Mother
When I was a boy
she was a secretary.
Her nights were filled
with filing groceries,
taking phone calls,
posting notes
to remindhim of things
he always forgot.
Then, when I turned fourteen,
she was mysteriously promoted to defense counsel,
a dazzling chief litigator,
furious with her caustic tongue
terrorizing us with verbal assaults,
clearing his name with brilliant oration,
while drilling her steely finger into my chest
with every point she made!
From the den I watch her
slowly lean over to turn him stroke his hair, cut the drool that sways
from the corner of his mouth,
kiss the hand that trembles
between the tubes that feed him.
~Garasamo Maccagnone
