Blinking away the fog of sleep
Confusion dissolves
with a toothless grin
A sudden eruption
of laugher
tickles my ears
Our eyes meet
and in that moment
is an infinite
understanding
In this moment
you are football sized
with little rolls on your legs
wide spreading fingers
and kicking legs
In this moment
You are angry
No, happy, sad, calm and raging
In this moment
this brief second
I realize
that I am like you
Naive and curious
Who will you be when you grow up?
What you spike your interest?
Who knows?
For now, belly raspberries will do.
