of Questions from My Son with Asperger's
Are you the tallest in your family?
Who's taller-you or someone you don't know?
Do you think you might be taller than me?
Are you the tallest in your family?
When I grow up, just how tall will I be?
Just tell me. You can use your hands to show.
Are you the tallest in your family?
Who's taller-you or someone you don't know?

You are my little skeleton,
your toes beginning to number,
your sand assembling to bone.
You have elbows. I hear your heartbeat
for the very first time, a quick
swish swish of liquid into matter.
You are bathing your new bones.
I am bathing you between mine.
