Jimmy & I Play House

On Sunday we wake up

for breakfast—eggs and pancakes,

the New York Times.

            Times change—Governor

Signs Gay Adoption Bill.

Jimmy makes coffee. Sometimes

he burns it, but not today.

            Jimmy arranges

four pancakes onto the yellow plates,

a gift from his mother.

I look at him. Say, We could be good

            fathers. Jimmy shifts.
