Fragility

Ever since I had the baby everyone I see looks like an infant to me. I used to watch movies and imagine the actors to be 10 feet tall but now when I see them, everyone looks tiny. And like a baby. I see the baby in everyone now. Doug thinks I am seeing the innocence in people now, the fragility of everyone. It's hard to be mad at people when you see this side of people. Sure, I've been cooped up in the house a lot lately so that may change when I'm back to riding the subways regularly, but for right now I like this. It makes me feel more human.

I feel this way about people when I see them sleeping on the subway. But, oddly enough, not when the sleeper has peed (or worse) in his pants, which SHOULD conjure up images of innocent babyhood. So if everyone could just walk around the city, SLEEPING, I could maintain this magnanimous attitude.

i'm sure it's also from lack of sleep. i have babies on my mind all the time and so when i watch TV in those off moments that i need some decompression, everyone looks baby-like to me. i mean, look at renee zellwegger. BABY.

Renee Zelwegger looks like a baby no matter how much sleep you (or she) get(s).
