Offspring

Happy accidents.

There was a car crash off of Rt 322.
What an accident.
4 car pile up with a tractor trailer of oil
Involved in an explosion killing 4 people.
Heaven?

My cousin is thirsty.
Her favorite drink is milk
And she opens the fridge
pours milk from gallon.
Being only 9 it's too heavy
White juice covers the floor, her clothes, the counters
As my aunt sprays anger everywhere
"It was an accident."

David wakes up and starts crying.
The snake monster was chasing him
He couldn't get away, but was relieved
To be back in his room.
"MOM" but she is out to dinner.
Kelly runs quickly to the room noticing the wet stain on the bed
"It's okay, accidents happen" as she removes the foul sheets.

In the gut, next to the intestines, near the bladder
there is a small human being
leaching to her umbilical cord
Feeding life into this creature.
A happy accident
But a sad new mother.
