it's worrying every moment
of every day
that something will happen;
anything--
tripping over a crack in the sidewalk
and scraping a knee, or missing the bus
and having to walk when it's cold,
or...much worse things...
and people want them, wish for them
willingly?
...it's worrying he'll forget about a paper
and have to stay up all night
to finish it, or that he'll cut himself
accidentally on the pen knife
he sticks through bottles and tissue boxes
when he's bored;
or that something will happen to his car
while driving to his grandparents' house
for thanksgiving, or he'll fall while running
at 3 am and no one will know...
parents are certifiably
off their rockers.
apparently,
