I wonder if my kid

I wonder if my kid Blames me for

Having him

Into this world

Full of puzzled adults

Bewilderedly racing

From one edge to another

Of unhappiness.

I wonder if he is grateful

Or bitterly ungrateful,

Proud or disappointed

Of what I did

When I played God

With his father.

I wonder

But I am too coward

To ask himThough sometimes

I can see the answer

In his aimless eyes.
