UNDER THE SUN

Under the late day sun
of this wishful thinking hour
ringing up student
who urgently e mailed me
that there is a poem in her
that has to come out
when she reveals to me
it a really a baby
from the star football player's
daddy seed that haunts her
own reality 24- 7
she has not told her parents
of any emergency plan
as Lena wakes up
with morning sickness
knowing she must tell
someone or she will
become a runaway
and display her hourly grief
and disbelief
in the window
of home room
where others will perceive
her grief and unbelief
telling her she must not
hurt herself in any way
that her new born
will be loved ,even so young
without too much delay
and suddenly she reads
to me out loud
her poem
which sings out
from her tongue.
