You are not
a failed parent,
my love.
That our daughter
stomps out
and says I hate you
is a sign
that we gave her
emotional agency.
That our son
emerges periodically
and complains
about dish chores
is evidence
that he understands
Marx and feels
guilt.
Let us sip
our wine
and rub noses
like we did
three decades ago
when we were
young and childless
and ready
to burn down the castle.
