so i write this to my wife
as if i remember this moment 
before i drive off to the store
to pick up a wedge of parmesan
and the noodles we want for dinner.
that i am of all March days thinking
of where we are now in our life,
in our 30s, and the boy who is every part
our waking as his fingers are 
in our hair or the water we drink,
and yes i go to my car each day
and try not to dream as much
but focus on the getting home,
the being there, because really
for me, for my life now it is
my wife and he, where my day ends
and my life begins and sure
for many that may be so easy
to write and say but how many realize
such and will it all into being
at 3:30 in the afternoon
