| We are children sometimes—
throwing sand, drowning bugs, in rain. Then the faucet won’t work, car breaks down, the children have questions about sex and now you think your children are out fucking other people’s children. At nine you lock doors, man the stairs and listen in to them talk to friends saying “they treat us like we’re children.” |
