One Week Ago
Having a baby is a little like being in a cult. With millions of other cult members. I intend to turn some of the advice into a poem or two. Here's the first.
One week ago today
only one week ago
seems like a year
even two after the baby
was born when we
got into a cab to
take a shower. The cab driver
asked why we were at
Roosevelt Hospital and he
was the first person we told
about the baby's birth. Let me
give you some advice
he said. Maybe it's more
just information.
My granddaughter is 5 months old.
Do you want to know the difference
between our generation
and theirs? Our daughter's first
meal was at Taco Bell.
Her daughter was fed an
organic avocado. And here's
another tip. Don't say
anything but yes.
