Parental Sorites
A logical poem
Published in

the sobering paradox of parenting
is that every single mistake
feels temporary
correctable
just another moment in time
like it doesn’t matter
yet when faced with high school graduation
marriage
or worse yet death
it’s clear that every single mistake
is not temporary
isn’t correctable
can’t be just another moment in time
does matter
