I explain
the difference
(“Children, are you listening! ”)
between
same &
different.
We’ve already discovered:
“That Cathy is a lady...”
“... & Donall is a man! ”
says little Zak in a deep Barry White type voice.
“Good...good! ”
I cajole them into knowing.
I lightly tap
Zak’s tight curls
- pointing out the obvious -
“Your hair is
short
whilst my hair is...”
“Yes...yes! ”
I nudge him on
awaiting his answer
whether it be curly or long.
Zak beams
as the answer dawns:
”...is grey! ”
