Found Poem
It’s cold season, so I tell her:
Chew this. It’ll make your body strong,
place the vitamin in her small hand.
For a moment, she eyes it suspiciously in her palm.
It’s round and pale yellow.
What will it taste like? she wants to know.
Lemon, I say.
She squints her eyes.
I think it’ll taste like moon.

Love it!
Kim that was great.
I love this, and am glad of it! Now the moon will taste lemony to me, not like cheese. I love when our kids communicate their perceptions like this, give us these new experiences–of them and of the world.
Wonderful!
