Heather McHugh - After Su Tung P'o

Heather McHugh - After Su Tung P'o

ON THE BIRTH OF A SON br br When a child is born, the parents say br they hope it's healthy and intelligent. But as for me— br br well, vigor and intelligence have wrecked my life. I pray br this baby we are seeing walloped, wiped and winningly anointed, br br turns out dumb as oakum—and more sinister. That way br he can crown a tranquil life by being br br appointed a cabinet minister.
