days begin with few expectations
a friend stops by for a visit
sunny morning lots of talk
then firecrackers go off
the media called
the election
Biden and
Harris
won

watching weeds grow
two little girls grew up
as different as they are alike
fair hair and skin
soft freckles dot cheeks and arms
one moves about in a classroom
rattling around in black scrubs
among widely spaced students
staring at screens
the other moves from one home
to another, restless, alert
dreams fill her head as she walks
among friends and strangers
and just today one bakes cakes
spread out across Mom’s buffet
while the other flies back to Mexico
resident stamped inside her passport
