Read this poem, and then answer the question that follows it
Baby-sitting
I am sitting in a strange room listening For the wrong baby. I don’t love
This baby. She is sleeping a snuffly Roseate, bubbling sleep; she is fair;
She is a perfectly acceptable child.
I am afraid of her. If she wakes
She will hate me. She will shout
Her hot midnight rage, her nose
Will stream disgustingly and the perfume Of her breath will fail to enchant me.
To her I will represent absolute Abandonment. For her it will be worse Than for the lover cold in lonely Sheets; worse than for the woman who waits A moment to collect her dignity Beside the bleached bone in the terminal ward. As she rises sobbing from the monstrous land Stretching for milk-familiar comforting, She will find me and between us two
It will not come. It will not come.
