At What Price
David LaBountyMy wife is out
scrubbing toilets
dumping ashtrays
and it’s just me and
the boys
and I used
to criticize friends and
relatives who sat
their kids in front
of the TV and used
it as a babysitter but
as I sit here typing
and waiting
for something to
happen my boys
are sitting on the
living room floor,
their eyes reflecting
so much cartoon light.
