The Morning After the Oscars
by Laurie Barton
I am not
angry that I lost
Nor relaxing
with roses
my cellular
throbbing with calls
Not regretting
my gowned capture
by cameras
snap-clicking
like insects
No, simply facing
diapers and TV
No nanny cracking
Zwieback for my children
No sound but that of
cartoon ducks
quacking in tempos of Monday
