one spank on a full diaper

i remember
striking
my son once on his bottom.
he was about
to stick a flat head
screwdriver
into a light switch, which
may or may not
have burned the whole
place down.
i sprained my hand on his
thick heavy
diaper
waiting to be changed.
i iced it, wrapped it
with an ace bandage and put
the tool away.
he looked at me
with tears in his eyes,
and frowned.
