You know the moment - you catch your reflection, or hear an old song, or watch your kid do something you used to do, and think: how did I become the person having this life?

This collection of haikus doesn't offer answers. It offers company.

Across five sections - Life (the body's slow renegotiation with itself), JAM (the songs that still know you better than you know yourself), Parental Unit (the strange, humbling arc from new parent to something else entirely), Sports (the sideline years - the absurdity and the accidental wisdom), and Friend (the people who become family by choice) - these short poems trace what it actually feels like to be an adult who's been at it for a while.
