I wrote this after reading an interview with Nina Cassian, in which the same question was brought up. I thought about this question for several days until something came to me. Forgive my feeble attempt at verse.

I wrote this yesterday when I took my son to the local pool to cool off. I couldn't help but notice all the single moms in their cliques as they bashed their ex-husbands, while trying to impress someone that wasn't there.
