waking
7:14 AM PDT - Jun. 08, 2004


i wrote an entry yesterday about getting up,
waking, wondering whether i know
what my real place is
and how i found wisdom again
through my son.

but of course, i lost it in the wonder
that is Diaryland.

then this morning i got up,
my wife had stirred a little because my son
had gotten up and decided that he simply wanted
to go back to sleep again,
so i showered and dressed
in the generic jeans and
whatever is clean motif,
and kissed my wife good day
and of course i had to look at my son
and how i keep thinking he is heavier everyday
even though he isn't, and how his feet
seem bigger and his brain is a bathtub
filled with toys and it never fills
and how when he stirs i pat his chest
and tell him daddy's here,
daddy's still here
even though when he eventually wakes
i will not.
