GRIZZLY PEAR

written snapshots

At dinner, he recalled an appointment before realizing it had been scheduled for last Tuesday.

I wasn’t in a playful mood after dinner.

The boy drew at his desk.
He drew a yellow circle with a giant smile.

Then we read a book.
That one with the big spider.

We read it again.
And a book about the solar system (when Pluto was still a planet).

He returned to the desk.

He drew a blob with two arms.
He called it a birthday card.
He added “d a d – e d” in giant letters.

Six weeks early. Just in time.
