hannah and caroline and me

(part thirty)

this picture just as easily could have been taken at east lake park in 1984, as long as you'll let your imagination pay no attention the actual ages of the actors cast in the frame. sarah's dad is my grandfather. allison, my grandmother. hannah, playing the role of my little brother, brian.

caroline is me, feet crossed, nowhere near the water or the worms, looking across the way at the playground equipment thinking (in liz lemon voice), "i want to go there."
