I'd like to represent the Block. This poem is not published and is my original work.

He Races Up The Stairs

Lying together in his single bed,
heads touching like magnets,
I read to my son: Twenty Thousand

Leagues Under the Sea, Chronicles
of Narnia, Alice in Wonderland.
Books held open above our heads

in the light of a lamp I made
in wood shop when I was a boy.
It's a well pump like the one

on my Uncle's farm, B+ still legible
on the underside. My son jumps
to pump it, grinning, light flowing

out. He lays an arm across my chest,
fondles my ear. Each night I long
to see stories come alive in his eyes.

Under the blanket, his toes wiggle
in anticipation. He asks me to read
again a part I can see he's pondering,

then falls asleep. I mark the page,
carefully slip from under his embrace,
grin, pump cool water on Uncle's farm.
