happy birthday to natalie christa marie eng wiener

who i taught to read at two and a half years of age.
had her reading a midsummer night's dream at five
because believing in children's intelligence
conquers realms of impossibility which
were actually merely lack of courage and faith

for my sister, out there somewhere
waltzing i hope . . .


she is more like my dad than i am, meaning she can out-talk me.

egyptology
