i.
j is all bounce and sass
more sardonic than she has a right to be
six braids in her hair
red licorice lips
sparkling mind
pitch perfect caricatures
of animals and friends
joyful challenge
ii.
r is why all day
why do you have your mouth open
why is my skin not like hers
why do we eat
why is the sky blue
why do we have to rest
why do you have a scarf
iii.
a is the drama king
pulling on his ears and sticking out his tongue
catching my eye from across the room
our own signal
constantly morphing from sponge bob to a snake tortoise rabbit butterfly
complicated colorful creative
bright green magenta red blue yellow boy.
