Little Girl Lost Poem by Joe Rosochacki

Two people wanted to have a baby
It's not ordinary
Until you have a third party
Maybe
You see
The parent are Euro-American women, that's not the problem
They decided their best decision was to go to sperm bank
The unknown third party amongst them
Sure they saw nameless bio and white picture, this pro-progenitor to thank
'He had blonde and blue eyes, like my partner.'
I thought of the Aryan perfect children that Hitler once would envision
They decided on #270 for her
The sperm was implanted into her egg let creation begin
Uh-oh, there was communication breakdown
Not to tune by Led Zepelin
The sperm bank impregnated her partner with #230!
She bore a half-breed, a mxed color daughter.
The couple that she would she would stand out
within the pristine predominantly pure
98% white neighborhood, If you will,
Sorry Mr. Rogers, who was famous on public Utopian Public TV.
So conservative, so Republican for sure,
Surely many are not Obama supporters,
They filed a lawsuit against Midwest Sperm Bank

'In the lawsuit, the two women allege that raising a mixed-race child in the 'racially intolerant' town of Unioontown, Ohio, will prove stressful.'

I wonder that two year old later feel being the center of attention
- through no fault her own.
How would you think you're a mistake?
Can you imagine the emotional cost
Of Little Girl Lost.
