Gave free rein to blind, irrational, <br />overwhelming anger and frustration, <br />it was too hot and just as I jumped <br />into the pool, Tiaan appeared like an <br />avenging angel – Mom, I have to be <br />at my friend’s in half an hour – just as <br />he did yesterday – I got out in a helpless <br />rage, the heat of my dry clothes driving <br />me insane; couldn’t find sunglasses to <br />face the sun’s glare; shouting, hurting <br />in a temper as I searched everywhere; <br />finally drove him off, so angry my head <br />hurt; couldn’t cool down for a long time <br />afterwards – why can’t he remind me in <br />time of his appointments, give me time <br />to prepare to be there as a loving mother <br />instead of a screaming, heat-crazed banshee?<br /><br />Margaret Alice<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-heat-crazed-banshee/
