A Leap and Walk

27 February 2010 His body alike a limp vegetable Unable to speak and can’t even crawl His age maybe 3 or 4, I’m not sure His worst condition they tried to inure A single room upstairs facing huge trees Wind swayed the leaves as circadian circuitry A half vertical block fixed at the doorstep Unthinkable to pass through by a limp’s creep One morning, the limp boy is left all alone At a higher level with bounded zones To leap on door block and stairs steps wide gap A little chance to move through is a hap Maybe a godsend or a grotesque sprite A paramour of the innocent feeble child Who wants to show the other world expanse Or invite him to their kingdom to prance My heedless passing by to their place Forbade the unknown and left him at the foot of the staircase I run toward him, lying on the floor, and seemed all right I looked around but no one else at the sight
