juice in one hand
“breakfast snack” in the other
he gets up
he sits down
he is everywhere

“babe, please sit at your table
and eat your breakfast”
is answered with
            “okay, momma”
and that’s just what he did

{after flipping the table upside down}
i did not question
i did not correct
i did nothing other than 
thank him for listening

                                   because that’s what he did

even if it wasn’t exactly what i had meant
