Poem for my toddler. Free verse
Screaming your little face red
Fifth time around the track
I don't mind

Mad as the day you were born
Nap time a curse word
I don't mind

Concerned and scandalized faces
Arms and legs fighting off
Demons or sleep
I don't mind

I blinked one day and you were
Three feet tall
Braids in your hair
Bouncing on Rebox

Tomorrow I will blink again
And you'll be six foot
Like your father
Cap and gown
Car keys
U-Haul and apartment fees
No more stroller
Warm days like these
So I don't mind
