Cabrini-Green Projects <br /> Chicago,1963 <br /> <br /> <br />The child, age two, hammocked in the half <br />moon of his mother’s arms, is locked <br />in palsy, yet moves an eyelid as I ask, <br />moves the other as his mother answers, <br />application form interrogation. <br />The father was a white policeman. <br />“Curiosity, ” the mother says. “No more. <br />I didn’t go with him for money.”<br /><br />Donal Mahoney<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/caseworker-determining-eligibility/
