flipster

she comes into my room
demanding "watch". we tune in
youtube. for the looneys.
she can name the cats
and parrot fuck yous that fly
between mommy and the target
of the moment.  learning to talk
like learning to walk like learning
to fly. she's the queen of birds.

i give her flips  a workout
for my old legs.   put a foot
on her sternum and lift
her the full yard. she's flying
and laughing then falling
onto the bed. again she insists.
again and again she's insistence
hope and thrilled.
