The News In Poetry Day 47: Practical Parenting

Your child is old enough to find out how he was created.

Your child is old enough to know not everybody’s straight.

He’s old enough to learn that everyone of us is fated

To die one day. He’s old enough to know that life is great.

He’s old enough to make his own decisions on religion.

He’s old enough to understand how awesome people are.

But he should be playing tag, or watching breakfast television.

He’s nine. He isn’t old enough to drive a fucking car.
