when my niece returned from the bathroom
with her five-year-old she said
"it's a good thing we went; it was serious!"
and I looked at Roger and said
"I am glad; I don't want people
making frivolous trips to my bathroom!"
he hadn't a clue just like earlier
when he asked me why the tire was
hanging on the tree and I told him
because I was hoping that the tree
would teach itself to drive in case
it had a cousin on the other side of town
it wanted to visit
his mouth opened
and his thumb jerked out from his palm
as if dreaming of saliva
