Life and Family: Family Life

My Life
So messy and untidy
Not neatly divided,
as my Mothers' appeared to be

Separate spheres?
Work [and] Family
Family, then Work
Totalizing, enveloping each of them
Reconcile - reconciling?

The overlap,
no separation
I'd lie if I called it integration
Domestic Life. Academic Life

My Life
My Life

This poem I post in honour of Family Day, an Alberta holiday to celebrate families. Today we are going to see a play called Apples and Oranges... more to come on this later!
