but as he sat chatting on his PC
with his high-school girlfriend,
no doubt he could hear me
in the other room growling in release
as his kneeling mother drained me,
just as she used to do long ago...and quite often,
before I introduced her to his father.
I wanted to tell him that in a way
I was responsible for his birth,
but I didn’t want to creep him out any more.
