Unmother
Has 'no maternal instinct
whatsoever' says yummy
could-be-granny,
Helen Mirren.
Of what might this
consist, this instinct?
A desire to dandy
on the knee
a bouncing babbler?
To share your chest
nipple by nipple
with tiny progeny?
To raise?
To sublimate?
To sacrifice?
To have someone else
sort your sleep?
Let body dictate terms?
You can be good,
you can be kind,
without having kids.
Or pets for that matter.
Fair do's to Helen,
Queen of herself.
