Gravity is actually a
crucial part of fetal development
its weight prepares our ligaments for lying cheating and
the reality of being twelve years
old with nowhere to go but down
Look, honey they're mowing the lawn
for us I don't remember asking them to do that
but we did have a jack and coke yesterday evening so
probably he was just thinking of that, the jack
and coke and the time Tom ran away
Last weekend, it was my turn to have the kids,
Tom doesn't want to talk but Ben is sweet his hair
has gotten long and curly like my brother's. He pets the dog for
hours stroking her pale smooth belly and I wonder
if I should tell him.
He told me about the gravity thing so I wonder if
I should tell him. I sliced my finger this
morning while I was cutting up some sausage
but it wasn't too deep, there was blood on my sausages even
though it didn't hurt I couldn't eat them. I drank coffee and
thought of Tom
working on his English homework. He doesn't
like to concern himself with spelling and even though he's
older, sometimes he crawls into bed
with Ben at night you know how kids are.
