In my dream my mother showed me
a picture of my three-year-old face.
I am crying,
Indignant,
Devastated,
Because someone, my neighbour,
has accused me of taking two lollipops
and I only took one.
The lollipops were the relatively healthy kind
from the natural food store.
Made from fruit juices,
Or environmentally friendly dyes,
Or something similarly far-fetched.
When I looked at that face,
I felt as sad as my three-year-old self.
Misunderstood,
Disbelieved.
I know how painful that was,
And still know.
The End.
