My mom's coming home soon," i said. "we should go to your place." patch ran a hand across the shadow of stubble along his jaw. "i have rules about who i take there." i was getting really tired of that answer. "if you showed me, you'd have to kill me?" i guessed, fighting the urge to feel irritated. "once i'm inside, i can never leave?" patch studied me a moment. then he reached into his pocket, twisted a key off his key chain, and slipped it into the front pocket of my pajama top. "once you've gone inside, you have to keep coming back.

More From Becca Fitzpatrick

In a sense, in the area of child care, children's relationships with parents' working has come full circle. we have gone from the mom-and-pop store (or mom-and-pop farm), with its integration of child care and work, to children-at-home and dad-at-work; to the mom-plus-daddy working at home, with its integration of childcare and work again. from mom-and-pop back to mom-and-pop.

Mama, mama, help me get home i'm out in the woods, i am out on my own. i found me a werewolf, a nasty old mutt it showed me its teeth and went straight for my gut. mama, mama, help me get home i'm out in the woods, i am out on my own. i was stopped by a vampire, a rotting old wreck it showed me its teeth and went straight for my neck. mama, mama, put me to bed i won't make it home, i'm already half-dead. i met an invalid, and fell for his art he showed me his smile, and went straight for my heart. -from "a child's walk home," nursery rhymes and folk tales

A guy's calling to say he's failing algebra ii. just as a point of practice, i say, kill yourself. a woman calls and says her kids won't behave. without missing a beat, i tell her, kill yourself. a man calls to say his car won't start. kill yourself. a woman calls to ask what time the late movie starts. kill yourself. she asks, "isn't this 555-1327? is this the moorehouse cineplex? i say, kill yourself. kill yourself. kill yourself.

You can't kill love. you can't even kill it with hate. you can kill in-love, and loving, and even loveliness. you can kill them all, or numb them into dense, leaden regret, but you can't kill love itself. love is the passionate search for a truth other than your own; and once you feel it, honestly and completely, love is forever. every act of love, every moment of the heart reaching out, is a part of the universal good: it's a part of god, or what we call god, and it can never die.
Regret Hate Love You
We'd said we'd keep in touch. but touch is not something you can keep; as soon as it's gone, it's gone. we should have said we'd keep in words, because they are all we can string between us--words on a telephone line, words appearing on a screen.
Life Should Have Gone
I just remember when my first child was born i called the personnel office and i asked them about their leave policies. and they said, "leave policies? women just leave and they don't come back." and i said, "but i want to come back." they said, "we have no leave policy." and then they said, "why don't you apply for disability?" well, having a child is not a disability.

I looked around the store and what i saw was not very encouraging. there were rows and rows of violent toys...aisle after aisle of training devices for recreational slaughter. no wonder our world was such a mean and violent place...if we teach children that killing is fun, can we really be surprised if now and then someone is smart enough to learn?
