She Is Unique Poem by Margaret Alice Second

Mom's surgery today, though her behaviour is
infuriating and my (self-) righteous indignation
excruciating - I'm dying in my skin, waiting to
hear the report from sis who argued with mom
on their way to the hospital - mom insisting to
greet a friend - then being late

Whatever outcome, I must be informed, I walk
up and down - haunted - a spirit possessed -
how shall I deal with the result - what is to be
PLEASE let me know - mom is irrational but
then she has always been; even if she were
oblivious to our existence, it is great

To know her; though an Astrogenetic Leo like
mom creates problems, she is also unique
and her heart is BIG - much bigger than
yours and mine!
