always afraid
Saturday. At the grocery store. Kid crying, walking alone. Asks me where his mom is. Say I don’t know, look around, don’t see her, Walk to look for her. Kid holds up his hand, I don’t take it. Kid starts crying again. Take kid’s hand. Walk down aisle, see frantic looking woman. Woman screaming don’t touch my son. Get your hands off my son. Pull back my hand, but kid holds on until mom grabs him, pulls him away, screaming at me. Everyone looking at me. I don’t remember what I said. Something something looking for you. Trying to help. Kid still screaming. I don’t care, I don’t care.
