On the Sunday when the media
makes mothering a thing of sentiment,
fit only for being the last item of a news bulletin,
I focus more on all the mothers who foster
and adopt, particularly as single parents
who focus their parenting instincts
in support of children whose lives
have been disrupted beyond repair.
This going-out-on-a-limb for a child
who can't know how stranded they are
is rarely recognised in my society
which makes the nuclear family standard
for the purpose of mass advertising,
whilst denying how every standard
creates variations that away from
what is predicted has to be managed.
This is why I praise adoptive mothers,
foster mothers, and many others
who seek to repair and reset future society.
