"point of view"
according to my daughter,
a mosquito is a hummingbird.
& everything that has wings is kinfolk.
especially airplanes. in her mind,
a banana is a yellow moon. a small, green acorn
is a turtle. & every object within view
should be rewarded with praise. in our house,
we hug incense smoke and tickle the plants.
we pull the color out of language and make
rainbow-like chatter. she reminds me
that all living things have the right
to experience laughter.
according to my daughter,
the number 5 is also an S. the letter B is the
number 8 with a backbone. cat ears are flower petals.
hands cupped together can be a butterfly.
& we make drums out of every hard surface. motivate
melody and mischief to flirt with the quiet. she gets up
and dances after throwing her body on the floor,
because all of it is a song.
