Non-Erotic PoetryPrinciples of Domestication(poem found in The Times 1/3/07)
1.
Early morning
What working mums
is a period of chivvying
really need is a wife.
and chasing. Lucky
Someone who will get up
Daddy who dresses
in the night, then again at 6.15 am
placidly and half asleep
2.
I had never cooked a meal
Here we are, post- feminist
or ironed a shirt in my life
post-capitalist
...my tears mingled with soap
post-modern...
suds as I tried to get white
and making it up as we go along
collars clean
3.
I hate the thought
Can I really be feeling
of no more babies in the house,
a pull towards the back-breaking
yet the more one has,
minute by minute care
the more one's life lacks
of two tiny children?
a certain graciousness
