Body of Registered Work
She did what had to be done
mama worked at a hospital every night.
Making sure we attended school on time
she did domestic three times a week.
Sometimes she had to bring me along
when school was closed or spring break.
Mama feed her children and, pay rent
daddy didn't sent another child support check.
Out of respect mama called her employer
"Miss Jane."
Yet respect was never giving in return,
you see.
Years of cleaning her house or wash
I never hear her call mama's name.
In those days they considered it okay
Miss Jane called my mama "Girl."
