Summary
The person flinches at the glare of the flashlight, flings his hands up into the air and freezes, a sway of leather over his back the only unregulated movement. In his lap, the baby’s head flops over the barrel of his thigh like a snapped branch, and the little thing starts howling again.

Bookmark Notes:
Contrary to common assumption, it’s easy to be uprooted. A houseplant that outgrows its pot is always ready to leave. In a small pot the plant becomes root bound, the tendrils of memories and tendencies knotting itself, deprived of growing space, into the frozen sarcophagus of its home. One yank, and it all comes up—the roots, the soil between their teeth and toes, as if they’ve been waiting all this time zipped into their own suitcase, for their arrested development to end. To be repotted, the roots ripped loose into new soil, the leaves given the chance to stretch.
