font-family: courier; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Even when his legs are fully extended they don’t touch the seat in front of him. Mostly he just touches me, which is okay. His father looks to be in his 40s, salt and pepper hair, broad shoulders and unexciting blue jeans. He’s tall. I assume he is the kind of tall that takes care of people, like reaches for things in the overhead bin for old ladies or carries multiple children to the house at once; that gentle, spacious tall.</span></p><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a" style="background-color: white; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><div dir="auto"><span style="font-family: courier;"><i>Do you want to lay down?</i> he keeps asking his son in English, who does not want to lay down. <i>Baby, do you want to take a nap?</i> he suggests, but the son does not want to take a nap. I like how English sounds in his mouth; it bounces, like rain in a hard city.</span></div><div dir="auto"><span style="font-family: courier;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto"><span style="font-family: courier;">We take off. The son and I look out the window, watching the world get smaller and smaller.</span></div><div dir="auto"><span style="font-family: courier;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto"><span style="font-family: courier;">Then the father, all six foot mountain of him, curls himself into a seashell and lays his upper body in his son’s lap. Without speaking, his son puts one tiny arm on his shoulder and one tiny arm around his head and his little back is strong and his little eyes are soft, and like this he holds his father. Now the son is making circles with his palm, very small ripples across the landscape of the man he came from. Now, with one finger, he is slowly stroking his father’s wild sideburn. I think they must have done this before.</span></div><div dir="auto"><span style="font-family: courier;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto"><span style="font-family: courier;">The father is asleep. If you held them up to your ear, I bet you could hear the ocean inside them. I bet everything in their ocean has a home to belong to.

I cannot fathom at this beloved moment or at any other, how a grown man could ever shoot tear gas at another man’s child. How a woman could walk their baby 3000 desperate miles to our doorstep and still some mothers would not let them in. It does not take concrete to build a wall.</span></div><div dir="auto"><span style="font-family: courier;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto"><span style="font-family: courier;">Perhaps our anxious leaders have never held space like this, where no one is alone and there is always enough room.
