Cherub Baby
Zuzu Tadeushuk
A cherub baby
ran around the room.
we thought it was cupid
but she was a girl
named Hailey.
Her mom was semi pshycho
talking on the phone
about her husband
and repeating the story many times,
always the same words.
The art cafe was quiet otherwise
and cupid kept on running.
sorry if you're reading this Hailey’s mom
but you didn't make it any secret.
i’m tired, you see, and we
none of us
speak sweet sans sleep.
