people getting busy

i notice that there's

a lot

of new babies in the neighborhood.

people have

been getting

busy during the lock down.

i see the parents,

one or two

walking down the street

with an exhausted look on

their faces,

pushing strollers

cramped

with babies and bottles,

diapers

and little toys.

yo, i say to them. what's

cooking?

and they say, sorry, have

to go and heat

up a pot of milk for the little

one,

and change his diaper.

are you watching the game later?

i yell out

as the stroller rolls by.

huh, what game?
