how many children do you have


someone asks me if I have
any children.

just one, I say. a son in California.
I had
two

actually. the woman I was married to
for a short while.
she was more like a child than an adult.

so I guess I had two.

this does not get a laugh. so I fill in
the empty

air with my own chuckle.
still nothing.

how about this weather, i say,
pointing up to the cloudless sky.
