Yes To N.O.

Yes To N.O. 

I knew she didn't want to take me with her

I was very clinical in my request

We were loud and boisterous in our discussion

Plying her with chocolates and Martini and Rossi Asti Spumante

It would have been so bad to stay with Father not Mother

Nothing but truth was spoken

So glad I said yes

Yes to leaving my home

Yes to a new step-father in prison

Mirror poem to NaPoWriMo #16 "No".
