Locomotion
“See this chicken I’m about to cut up and fry? You were even smaller than it. Doctors said there’s a little bit we can do but mostly you have to hope hard and pray. Mama cut the wing off the chicken, rinsed it under the faucet, patted it dry—real gentle like she was deep remembering. So I hoped and prayed and sat by that tiny baby every hour of every day for weeks and more weeks. Doctors said it’s his lungs, they’re just not ready for the world yet. Can’t take a breath in. Can’t let one out. So ...I breathed for you, trying to show you how, I prayed to those lungs, Mama said. Grow! The chicken was cut up, spiced up, dipped in flour and ready to fry. Mama touched each piece still real gentle before she slipped it into the hot oil. Then you were four pounds, five pounds, six pounds bigger than this chicken.MoreLess
