A year ago I paced this parking lot While you swam circles in mom's belly Under the ultrasound wand and jelly And on my screen because daddies could not Join mommies and babies back in those days As I maddeningly carved a river With my feet on this selfsame concrete, These seagulls, the very same, showered sheets Of poo all around, hither and thither, All of them missing just like today Today, however, you're right here with me Enthralled by the gulls I had not seen 'Cause I just saw you on that little screen, But each day since birth you've taught me to see Through eyes that opened on the fourth of May
