the woman on the street
stops to tell me to enjoy every moment 
(the baby is on my chest)
it goes by too fast
when you’re holding them 
you can’t see
I smile 
agree
thank you for letting me share
she says
and then we are at school pick up together 
and she talks to another grandparent
about how many steps she’s done
and ear infections 
and blood pressure
these bodies all pulsing
resting on each other
or just passing by
