I emerge from a marathon of zoom meetings
to see that you have written reminders
of how to stay happy in a pandemic
on Post-It notes around the house
you cannot yet spell
so it takes me a while to decode them
but I realize that getting me to slow down
was part of your genius
which to be fair
is not yours alone
but the domain of most six-year-olds
an innocent wisdom
uncomplicated by layers
they do not yet wear.
