A change needed, not quite the least destructive way to accomplish that.  A blind force delivered by Punks.  There were unfortunate casualties, although their lose in my life has been minimal.  But today.. I took The Kid to the aquarium.  Bloody fantastic!  He saw it all, his eyes wide and mouth hanging open he got his first real look at fish.  

Sharks and Monkeys and dolphins, oh my.

He has wonder in his soul, a combo that actually works in this relationship.  I had such a good time, and appreciated that 5 years ago I couldn't imagine a child, let alone a more peaceful mind.  The poet challanges that and I'm getting tired.  He maddens like the Caterpillar yet scurries and teases like the Rabbit.  This Alice needs to play with The Kid, to help him to navigate Wonderland.  

The dolphin came to me last April, when I was 5 months pregnant.  We spent moments looking at each other.

He came to see The Kid yesterday.  

Captured forever.  

A lust for life.
