Lasell at 11:24 pm with the windows open
New baby next door: short sharp wailing then screaming then muffled murmuring as my neighbor settles into her new thrifted rocking chair, baby latched to breast
Beep-beep of air conditioner being turned on-then-up and the window rattling down
Low rumbling thunder and wind swishing through garden
A/C compressor and the baby is utterly quiet. I haven't met it yet but she's been so heavily pregnant for so long, always smiling a weary smile. Tomorrow I'll go over and see if there's anything they need -- other than about a week's sleep.
