Sense Sonnet - Acher

Poisoned Child

I got distracted on the phone.
My 2 year old, Mike, got into
Some detergent. I heard him moan.
I called the paramedics crew.
Mike was unconscious when they rushed
Him to the E.R. I was there.
Mike's stomach was completely flushed.
They took him to intensive care.
Chemicals in the detergent
Set off some kind of reaction
In Mike that apparently went
Into his brain. Damage was done.

The doctors say my Mike may be
In a coma permanently.
