(6) "There's a Child"


(6)
“There’s a Child”
cji
2/24/16
Infancy cradled close
found in a small crib
swaddling clothes
changing diapers
growing into pants
skirts and petticoats
ideally this terrain
traditional but not
some naked always
without hugs or warmth
hardened in the streets
drugs within the home
changing terrain
into the un-traditional
becoming the new
infancy for money
welfare checks per
there’s a child
enslaved at birth!
