Lilly's preschool today
my turn to get her ready
she said, I need my preschool bag
I said, Let's get your socks on first
rolling. kicking. screaming. hysteria.
I find the preschool bag
sedates her like a tranquilizer dart
when I dropp her off
she walks toward the school but
twists her head
a few degrees beyond ridiculous
to watch her following shadow
