Touching vids online of
children asking stepdads to
adopt them: they make you wanna cry.
As do children ending their teenage years
as lifers
for no one ever showed,
or dads who never were
who end it alone in housing trusts,
fans whirring
like screams.
It’s hard to say where empathy starts
and ends.
It’s hard to say
it ends at all.
