Our living room
It was not
Until you came around
Countless nights
In front of screen
But no motion
Now
Crawling, shrieking, laughing, climbing
Screen still on but not the focus
Paradox
At home, you seem so dominant
Outside, so fragile
Sleep
Once precarious
Now more steady
Once afterthought
Now much appreciated
Free time
Before was mindless
Now recharging
Love
Everything is about this
Everything is done with this
True when we were two
Infinitely more so now
It was not
Until you came around
Countless nights
In front of screen
But no motion
Now
Crawling, shrieking, laughing, climbing
Screen still on but not the focus
Paradox
At home, you seem so dominant
Outside, so fragile
Sleep
Once precarious
Now more steady
Once afterthought
Now much appreciated
Free time
Before was mindless
Now recharging
Love
Everything is about this
Everything is done with this
True when we were two
Infinitely more so now
