In the Future, Heartbreaking News Spreads by Text (Spares the Awkwardness)

Dead twins
Her fault or his doesn’t matter
What kind of life anyway
Father in a methadone clinic
Who cares if he has a job now
Can’t help but think
They got lucky.

She thought this would save him
Keep him on la diritta via
Can’t help but blame herself
It was a stupid idea in the first place
But to be a mother—
Demiurge cursing the demiurge
That creates but
Does not maintain.

Funny that yesterday
I saw a bumpersticker
on a SUV that said

“Real men make twins”
