So concerned
with the hole in your skirt
sunglasses
lobbing the ring out the window
birthing on a cold floor
The girl
with the stripy tights
eager smile
independently alive
his logic wears me out
So concerned
with communication
the baby boy
his holidays
without
You
The girl with the kooky style
bright eyes
so concerned
with feeding him right.
