spc: urban playground

jack plays baseball out here with his mom and dad.
one day, the triplets will play out here, too.
they'll shout up to our kitchen window to see if
our boy can come down and play but
he'll already be halfway there.

cousins will come over and they will
scream and shout as they
throw water balloons and
draw with sidewalk chalk.

alleys are the place to be in the city.
a place to hang and catch up with the
neighbors as your kid practices
on his new training wheels
racing the others to the
next lamp post.

we dream and hope and
nest and build and fall in love
over and over every day.
life is good.
crazy good.

the self portrait challenge this month
is to capture yourself somehow, somewhere on the street.

self portrait challenge site.
