today i met a 12-day old baby named Niko. the features which stood out to me the most about him were his fragile nose (two needlepoint circles framed by a thin, peach-colored membrane) and his tiny feet, packaged in gray polyester. he mostly kept his eyes closed during our visit with his parents (Ulrich’s niece and nephew-in-law) but occasionally he cried out, grabbing at the air with his knobby fingers, his toothless mouth tilted into a wincing frown.
