bang, bang, BANG

hands over ears

why is it so loud?

"Open your eyes, Darling"

mama takes my hands

wow...

so many rainbows in the sky!

but so loud...

my breathing shakes and i sniff my runny nose

"loud mama"

mama smiles with pretty teeth and covers my ears

the rainbows pop and glitter

"Those are fireworks, Sweetie."

fire works!

"f-fire?"

"Good fire"

"pretty fire"
