Annotate and paraphrase:


This a trash can chained to a gate,

This is my father with his eyes half-closed.


This a photograph of my sister

And a giraffe looking over her shoulder.


This is our car's front bumper.

This is a bird with a pretzel in its beak.

This is my brother Pedro standing on one leg on a rock.

With a smear of chocolate on his face.


Mama sneezed when she looked

Behind the camera: the snapshots are blurry,

The angles dizzy as a spin on a merry-go-round.


But we had fun when Mama picked up the camera.

How can I tell?

Each of us laughing hard.

Can you see: I have candy in my mouth.
