This is how I will pay.
Not with insidious STD,
unplanned procreative outcome,
nor tremulous hangover.
Not even with
will-you-respect-me-in-the-morning shame
at just how and where and when
and how loud.
No, for the rather lively late night,
I will pay
with the steady stream
of grating utterances
otherwise known as
reasonable questions
from my loving,
world-curious children.
Ahhh ! That one could fuck all night
and not be too tired to parent in the morning.
