The Pink Book
The paediatric clinic at two weeks, the baby on the scale and the pink book open on the desk: heavier by four hundred grams; she cries less than before; good, the skin is less yellow; she feeds every two hours; a shot, I write it in the pink book; when is the next visit, doctor; at one month, fatter, louder; and the father a little thinner: up and down after an adjective, for a change.
