Excitement

This is a photo of my father at my nephew’s

(his grandson’s)

basketball game.

This is how he shows he is excited.

This is a photo of my brother at my nephew’s

(his son’s)

basketball game.

This is how he shows he’s excited.

There is no photo of me

because I am

pacing under the bleachers

with my eyes closed

and my fingers in my ears.


Periodically one of them might think to ask,

“Where’s Sis?”

Then they remember.

They’re used to it.
