“I sat and watched him babble like a brook
it took forever to hear the first drop fall
it rained into the water of the newborns
I listened for a moment
then left him to his massive words
tired from his efforts,
sleepy from his speech,
unconsciously conscious
of his taffy-pulling time.”

“I sat and watched him babble like a book.
It took forever to turn the first page
it rained into my eyes and ears
no one heard the crash of massive words
ears too tired to lift; minds adrift”
