"Sweepstakes / Jack Dark makes her an offer: she can have a winning lottery ticket / that will pay for / a house in the suburbs, / a station wagon, a sailboat, / twenty trips to Paris, / a private plane; / or she can give birth to a sickly child / who will always be stunted and frail / hunched in a cot alongside her room / with only a thin wall between them / so the cough is her cough, the cries her cries. / Jack knows his customer, / she takes the child." - [Poem quoted from page 6]. Very good .
