do parents not cry
holding their kid
for the first time
or what
cos i ~have~ been
invited to watch
thru a window
Discussion
it was covid
the new maternity ward
was on the first floor
i brought two pizza pies
that i left under the
left tire of their car
for when they were
released later that
day
so they had something
good to eat
when they got home
the best pizza in the
county:
bob's
i can tell you
i cried
like rivers
while on the phone
with them
looking thru the glass
at her & her
holding her
theodora
made a whole childrens
book for her waiting for
her
born 4/20
the trees next to me
on either side
were in bloom
what memory of mine is fleeting.
everyone else's memory is not my problem.
literally watched dan's head try to confabulate past dates of what i firmly told him i have documentary proof of.
another reason for photography is the exif data
