In this tender ode to his unborn grandchild, comic actor Crystal imagines all the moments they will share: "I want to feel your heart beat/as you lie upon my chest,/bait your hook, fly your kite,/help you study for a test." Sayles's dreamy pastel scenes bring these hopes to life, capturing the love and easy companionship of a grandfather and granddaughter who play, stargaze, and make a splendid mess of their spaghetti dinner.
