don't say nothin

Mo wore a t shirt today

for the first time in 2(?) years!
it was small and backwards
but we reversed it or rotated it
I kept wanting to tell him
he looked so sharp
sharp elbows

finally I can see them again
Tight blue t shirt, sagging jeans
Tullah said don’t say anything 

which I knew
and I smiled and I said something
and he growled at me ...in a loving way?
he said he wanted to wear it 

because he was playing with a 17 year old from across the hall 

and a 7 year old he says he wants to marry 

and they were both sweaty 

and wearing t shirts
arms like your dad
knee caps like your grandpa
don’t say nothin
