"Sandra Bullock Reveals Baby Boy!" [by Jennifer Michael Hecht]

Sandra-cover-200bt0428  

Sandra Bullock Reveals Baby Boy!

 

I don’t know much that I thought I knew.

I have been stupendously surprised.

Ever since balloon boy, I have been

scanning the skies,

but I did not see this coming.

There is, after an Oscar win,

a history of damaged joy,

not so tiger-sized, but not without an element

of a role reprised. Now this surprise!

Lucky for him, the kid looks wise.

My dearest bleaders,

I offer you this occasional on the fly as my grad students require my immediate attention. Stay alive and I shall return to encourage you further.

Love,

Jennifer
