Rituals
Tap
Tap
Tap
Please!
Why won’t she stop
What’s she doing
That child of mine
She’s going to break something
Tap
Tap
Tap
Please!
Just one more
One more time
Then my brain
Might shut up
One
Two
Three
What?
Why’s she talking
To herself
Is she kidding
This isn’t normal
One
Two
Three
What?
I’ve forgotten
Where I was
Just to be safe
I’ll start again
Then I snap
Then she snaps
For goodness sake
For goodness sake!!
Why are you doing this
Why are you like this
But she doesn’t answer
But I can’t answer
So I sob
She screams
I wail
Sssssshhh
I tell her
Be quiet
She hisses at me
And I tap
And count
And obsess
It’s fine
I say
She lies
But nothing
Nothing
Can make this ok.
