01.01.09 (day 22)

they are the only
people on this earth
who could make me
take a trip through the bible
via christmas light display,
turn my knees into ponies
willing to carry the weight of two children,
and put down a mimosa to play tag in a good friend’s living room.
i never thought much of small people
who shit on themselves
and can’t tell me what’s wrong when they cry,
but now i see what i’ve been missing.
