If one draws some graffiti
Might as well make it smile
And add hair so it’s noggin
Will not freeze in the wild
(Though perhaps wipes or tissues
Won’t be bad to stockpile …).

“It’s a zoo over there!”
She exclaimed. Out of breath.
Cheeks still red from the stairs
And the cold evening air.
“It’s a zoo in the store.
It’s a zoo in the park.
It’s a zoo … at the zoo,”
Her smile grew.
She cracked up.
Couldn’t stop.
Her delight
Only matched
By the first time she ‘got’
“Slipped my mind” meant forgot.

When shut-eye weighs your lids
Yip patrol
Comes on call
While the third wheel can perch
On the sill
‘bove the bench.

She giggles at the slightest silly
She grins at mirrors
Smiles through windows
Makes a dozen strangers’ day.
She beams at dogs, at books
A toy, a leaf, a pigeon
The world itself at play.
She chuckles at her own reflection
Adores someone’s freckles, wrinkles, shoes.
She rejoices in a pigtail, a polka-dot ribbon
Celebrates a doll, a braid, a tube of sparkling glue.
She chortles with abandon at a joke
“Again, again!”
She finds joy in the smallest moments
Her laughter paints bright happy into
Even the most mundane.
