Day 12 - VOICE

[exceptfebruary]

It is the second Sunday of May.

I wonder how many of you can pay tribute to your mothers in this City? Many of you have probably been separated from your mothers. Even those whose mothers have gone cannot even visit their grave. How many mothers have been torn from their children?

Cards not given, flowers unreceived.

[ Pause. ]

Happy Mother's Day.

[datglass]

'Coz you're talkin' aboot it for all us wee peoples to hear. Or d'ya want them all feeling sorry for themselves?

[exceptfebruary]

They do sound rather unappreciative of the reminder, don't they?

[datglass]

Like weans not even yet in school.

[exceptfebruary]

You get all sorts of responses if you but ask. Entertaining ones and fascinating ones.

[datglass]

[exceptfebruary]

It serves as a nice break between crimes.

[datglass]

Whatever gets ya going, I guess.
