I sat waiting in the car watching other people going in and out
The woman in the minivan opened the back door and children emerged.
They kept coming out, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,.
Like a clown car. Or an absurd scene in La Strada.
It was my first time ever seeing these faces
being born emerging from the steel reinforced womb
Fresh and wet, squirming and learning of what loss was like.
And I dont know if it is fair anymore to hide the disillusionment
they will feel as they themselves sit waiting in cars for lovers
to come back.
