after Larry Sultan
Toddler learns to fly
A life-size billboard of my childhood home
Cat barfs again
Balancing marriage, family, and work
in the midst of what they call Difficult Times
“But would anyone want to read it?”
Poop humor
Eating books like cereal
My parents live forever
A baby’s first word is “privilege”
A kite in a brisk Febreze
Scooping metaphors like a litterbox
Surprise airplane in the driveway
The constant fear my family resents me
because I am too stingy with my attention
A house with too many light switches
