I love this, Julie. It would stand out for me if I read it in any journal. The rhymes aren’t too loud, which I like but most of all it creates the experience of being on a dad’s shoulders at an amusement park. (That’s my reading FWIW.) But if I’m wrong about where it is set it doesn’t matter. What it is, the experience, is what makes it great. Excitement, some confusion, a young consciousness working to make sense. Well done. I love it. I already said that but I love it. Oops!
