Julia Louis-Dreyfus read a poem titled "First Fall" by Maggie Smith, and found it resonated with her experience as a parent and the connection between parent and child.
First Fall." "I'm your guide here in the evening dark morning streets. I point and name. Look the sycamores, they're modeled paint by number bark. Look the leaves resting and crisping at the edges. I walk through Schiller Park with you on my chest. Stars smolder well into daylight. Look the pond, the ducks, the dogs paddling after their prized sticks. Fall is when the only things you know because I've named them begin to end. Soon I'll have another season to offer you frost, soft on the window and a port hole side there. Ice-sleeving the bear-gray branches. The first time you see something die, you won't know it might come back. I'm desperate for you to love the world because I brought you here.
