Sport 33: Spring 2005
Blame
Blame
It is my fault
her toenails
her thighs
the hideous
hair on her arms.
My fault
she has too many books
it's making her schoolbag
fat.
Fat is my fault
I don't feed her
correctly, don't limit
her intake.
My fault
the failed marriage
I am simply
unlovable.
No money is my fault
what sort of grown-up
is an actress.
No brothers or sisters
my biggest fault
an unpardonable crime.
