MOTHER’S DAY

My wife said,
                       “I’m not your mother
don’t give me a card.”

My mother
                         is no longer here
doesn’t get any mail.

The tulips
                         are wilting & the day
has been too cold.

I wonder
                          if mothers are happy
or do they just miss sex?
