You’re biting my leg
then you look at me and
I’m looking at you
and you say hello
with a smile on your face,
eyes downward.
We’re in bed and
you’re reading and
I’m writing
and the kids are all with us (6 of us
total) and you go to sleep but
wake up since you’re not tired.
And I’m watching you read
(you’re scrunching your face)
scrunching, scrunching, sneeze!
And I laugh to myself because earlier you sneezed
on your windshield. It’s streaky.
