the good news life

little alchemy girl on the dry counter
sits smiling, waits for her mother
sucking tootsie roll
pop, tells me 43 licks
and i smile at the
number of times i got bored with counting
and didn't bother finishing
(how much less dedication to tasks i have than this 9 year old)
and i realize, breifly
how much greater each generation
is than the last

it's a good news life sometimes.
