We didn't deny the obvious
but we didn't entirely accept it either
We said hello to it each morning in the foyer
we patted its little head as it made a mess in the backyard
but we never nurtured it.
Many nights the obvious showed up at our bedroom door in its pajamas
unable to sleep, in need of a hug
and we just stared at it like an Armenian
or even worse hid beneath the covers
and pretended not to hear its tiny sobs.
