GRIZZLY PEAR

written snapshots

An empty room is an open stage.

The kids reenacted the The Nightmare Before Christmas.
The soundtrack played on the phone.

A white cape designated Jack (and played Santa’s beard).
The foam roller stood as the Christmas tree;
Books became boxes of presents.
They popped in and out of the closet, swapping roles.

She directed me to roll two stacked yoga balls as Oogie Boogie.
