The Baby

The baby
Stands, then
Falls, with a loud
Thud.

He cries out in
momentary Pain
then Stands again, then
Falls
Again.

3 times,
4 times,
10 times.

The baby
no longer
cries.

At each Fall,
he Stands
Again.
At each Fall,
he turns
Stronger.

Years pass, and
the baby
learns
the use of railings, and
the ability to balance.

But one day,
hands push
shove
slap, and he
Falls again.

Without any

support,

the hard contact

Hurts.

he gropes
for a railing
for an outstretched hand
for a form of support, while
flesh
hurt.

The grown baby,
back to Square 1.
