i can't stay long

it's a hard day
for
people who hate their mothers,
who never
got along with
them.
who cringe at their nagging,
their lack
of cooking skills,
or tender
care,
absent of a single attribute
that most
mothers have.
it's tough to buy
a card
for them,
to smile and kiss them on
the cheek
and pretend
that you love them,
as you give them flowers.
