I want to know
what my grandson
was looking at,
as he lay on his back,
after awakening
from a too-short nap
for a four-month-old.
I walked in quietly
and squatted down,
and he was on his back,
looking up —
to my mind, at least,
at just the ceiling —
but every once in a while
cracking a big smile.
Now, I know that
he smiles in response to
someone else’s smiling.
(I also know that he
had already passed gas.)
So who...
