Daddy Walks Past me

Daddy Walks Past me

A Poem by Jessie Shaw Thompson
"

A re-married father ignores his little disabled daughter on a public walking path.

"
Daddy walks past me
On the path, pretending not
To see me, my chair

The backpack of a
Better, not disappointing
Child in his right hand

The tugging, terse grip
They're dead weight what about us
In his other hand

I watch as daddy
Walks past me, ignores me, I
Don't understand why
