the woman, striking her child
on the street,
his yellow rain coat deflecting
a hard rain,
missing the school bus,
crying with papers
in the wind, a spilled
bag of crayons, pencils,
erasers. the woman
swings and swings against
the yellow plastic
covering his body down
to his wobbly knees.
her day is ruined,
by minutes, his life
just beginning, headed
in her direction.
