TALES OF AN ORANGEPEELER

This week I held a three-week-old baby. It had the face of a very old man who does not remember his first kiss & thus very surprised by kisses.

I didn't know how to properly hold the child; it squirmed in my arms as if unused to its rapidly changing body, the scent of a stranger. I felt as if I held a beginning. His beginning.

Excuse me for calling him it. Everyone kept correcting me: he, he, he. Like a song about laughter.
