All the parents are coming back
In their blue tees and khakis, jeans.
Their plastic wheels carrying
Plastic boats carrying organic newborns
happy
In these afternoon lights, (in their eyes)
Fall on their face:
- Enough to nip
- Enough to thaw
- Enough to hold hands
And to empathise this gift of foamy chocolate
