Your bandaged breasts
remind me of the baby Jesus
wrapped in swaddling clothes,
sent here to redeem the world.
Except that your breasts
will eventually be much perkier
than Jesus ever turned out.

Dana is home from the hospital, mostly intact. I went to see her and she kept me amused with stories about her profuse projectile vomitting, narcotics-induced giggling and hallucinations of dancing rainbow mice, and other post-surgical hijinks. I wish I was allergic to Tylenol too, because she got the REALLY good stuff, and all I got was stupid codeine.

Yesterday and Tomorrow.
