My son gave me the numbers--
the science of it all--
in a clean line he declared the facts;
I explained that mothers
do not limit their decisions
to science--we prepare for 
the unexpected; we prepare for
the everything of it all.  

We dropped a few rough words
here and there along the way,
thinking we'd return some day
and find that they'd been polished.
