At 4

At 4
 
At 4 my 
seeing acuity was 
24/24. My bowels praised me daily that I’d 
learned how to 
use my 
right hand well. My bladder was 
so impressed, so 
excited, that at 
age 4, my coordination was 
high, he 
actually fainted. I was the 
best dresserer of 
myself. I could see into 
brains so 
I could see 
their world view. What did I see:
crème puffs 
rising, blank street 
signs, people slurping 
cash, the homeless eating the 
wealthy, babies running 
corporate meetings.
