Wants and Needs

(By Sil, Oland, Sweden, the 19th of August)

The child wants
The father needs
The mother influences the odds
With a clinched jaw
Divorced from want or need
Moments of bliss
Aimless pinball
Played with not enough coins
And we sink into silence
A plush curtain pulled over the world
Not even curiosity
Can break a good game of Withhold
