she loved her children,
but they were so tiresome
with their squabbles, the way
they left a wake of scattered toys,
markers with no tops and assorted
papers and dirty Kleenex.
she didn’t want to sell them,
but a vacation with her new lover
would be a welcome relief,
so she posted a sign in front
of her house advertising
“Children for Loan”, daily,
weekly, or monthly rates
