I saw a woman at the bookstore today
having coffee with her young daughter
far too young to know what was ahead of her
what mountains she would climb and fall upon.
The woman had coffee with her young daughter
the same daughter that began to try to conversate with her mother
oh so innocently
as her mother sat there
unbothered
scrolling through her pointless instagram feed
bothering herself with photos of other people's beautiful lives
when she was too busy to notice the most beautiful life of all
right in front of her.
