the horrific trial, you see your
nanny,
the woman who
watches your children
while you're at work
on tv.
she's dressed in pink and holding
up a placard
saying Clancy is innocent.
she's screaming
at the lawyers,
the jurors,
at anyone who contradicts
her beliefs.
you look over
at your children on the couch,
snuggled up
and warm,
reading, eating cookies.
almost ready for bed.
you think to yourself that
maybe it's time
for you to stay home more.
