Jen's Mum Will Write
Jen's mum writes advertising copy.

washing machines, dryers, fridges,
freezers, dishwashers.
She hates these appliances

in corners,
power-hungry and fractious.
One day, she will have a wood stove,
and she'll write about things that matter-
she will write about birth and death,
about love and the absence of love,
about fathers and children,
about mothers and daughters,
about lovers and friends.
She'll write about the whole goddamn
wonderful, awful business
of loving and being loved — Margaret Wild
