Translation
Frustration is a burst hot-water bottle, or
loathing every moment of a holiday you're paying a fortune for. It's using the wrong side of the Sellotape, forgetting what you were going to say, or locking yourself out. Frustration is other people parking in front of your garage, or a stranger reading a riveting letter on the bus and turning over before you get to the bottom of the page.

Wishes for Sons
By: Lucille Clifton
I wish them cramps. I wish them a strange town. And the last tampon. I wish them no. 7-11.
I wish them one week early And wearing a white skirt. I wish them one week late. Later I wish them hot flashes And clots like you Wouldnt believe, let the flashes Come when they meet someone special. Let the clots come when they want to.
Let them think they have accepted Arrogance in the universe; Them bring them to gynecologists Not unlike themselves
