there's a lace curtain over old window panes, slow glass sliding downward panes warp and slide – will they break before the liquid moves?
the baby will shoot up tall, walk wither and die all the cheerios diapers words strolls cowlicks all belong to the ancients she will belong to the ancients she will be as old –
here lap-top is broke at home, that horrible shut-down worm at school, people beep the microwave at library, must use kiddie station – chairs and tables six inches off the ground
ancients sit in sunny window, order words through lace scratch the paper, wait for baby the quiet has lasted –
baby sweating, more or less hydrated, how important living in space alone or with others how important if she cuts hair or buys boxes of dye how important if drag king wants her how important if she gets key made or buys new one how important if she washes how important
says woman of email summer –
you don't have to do it like someone else you just have to do it with someone else
