Ashamed

I'm not all of America

not even a good representation

of normal. Just one person

maybe a little strange, and

certainly not that important,

but i still feel responsible

for what we do.

If
is a pretty big word
close calls near misses
new momma nearly bleeds to death
on your watch
boy falls 3 stories from rooftop
lands on broken feet
broken axle, switchback roads
back then forth
toddler wanders off in a foreign land
crowded marketplace
if
you were
if
you could
if
you knew better
if
is a very big word
