the first child

she has
no children, i can see that
by the hat
on her dog. the pinafore,
the necklace,
the pink chain,
the knit booties on her
paws.
the basket on her
bike.
all of it
a dead give away
as they ride to the park
for a picnic.
just the two of them,
with sandwiches cut
into small bites.
