“We Had a Speak in the House”

TODDLER DIPLOMACY
Not under the desk — that was the sticking point —
but adjacent: a position of strategic proximity,
neutral ground established via blanket,
cushions angled to communicate permanence.
The murmuring is not to anyone.
It is the sound a person makes
when they have arranged things correctly
and are now simply present in their arrangement.
The dog, too, has found a corner.
Everyone in this room has negotiated their radius
and settled.
The Blanket Corner
You are Lou's blanket corner, slowly being pulled loose by gravity and toddler restlessness — tap to tuck yourself back in before the whole diplomatic arrangement collapses and someone ends up under the desk.
