“We sat in the car
& the night dropped
down until the
only sounds were
the crickets &
the dance of our voices

& for a moment

small enough to
roll back & forth
between us.”

“Who was going to raise 12 million children? That was what I suddenly wanted to know....Who was teaching 12 million children how to swim.....Who will tell 12 million bedtime stories....Who will wake in the night in response to 12 million nightmares....Well, as it turns out, no one. Or very few. There aren't enough adults to go around."

There is No Me Without You”
