A Simple Story III

Scene 3:

In the silent car
With Daddy,
Who speaks incessantly
To her
About her beautiful
Baby
Brother.

Hunter Joseph.

Mommy
Waits in the big building,
Tan bricks
And miles upon miles
Of never-ending cars
Parked and honking.
Loud.

Daddy speaks and she listens,
Carefully,
Stares out the window,
Leaning against the hearty plastic of the car seat.
