When Your Kid Doesn’t Get It

I spent way too long writing poetry yesterday
Boy you should have seen the way I was doing it!
Hanging upside-down from the ceiling like a bat
Writing in purple ink on a yellow memo-pad
Sending the pages sailing down to the carpet
Thousands of them!
My son came home from school, waded in, and got paper cuts all over his legs
"Mommy," he whined, "why do you always have to hang like a bat!"
