Today, on my mother’s birthday,
I used to get all the S&H Green stamps from Wieboldt’s,
Paste them in my books at the last minute,
And buy her Corning ware for birthday/Christmas.
I don’t know if she felt cheated
Getting only one gift
Or having a skid row wino bum for a dad
Or having T B
Or growing up on welfare
Or trying to scrape two pennies together all her life?
Anyway,
I, hope she didn’t feel cheated
About the presents.
