When reading to children, one should also read the child.
THE LAST PAGES OF SLEEPING BEAUTY
Look at them‑‑
the Prince just stumbles in
chasing a wild pig.
One dry kiss and
the Princess falls for him,
the first thing she sees.
Her father lays a banquet
and a few gold coins on
the groggy peasants.
Look at this kid,
my daughter, who only asked
if I would read the story,
not why I was made,
why I am her father,
how long will she love me.
Not caring what happens
between now and morning,
ear on my heart,
she sleeps and leaves me
holding the old story.
