To you it may seem
That I'm grumpy or mean
Or that I cry a lot

The truth I fear 
Is so very near
And it all explains a lot

The face you see
Is not really me
I know you know me not

The truth, with wit
Is about what I did
In this...

Life is jesting, breasting amplitude waves. 
Wait till they cave to my whims, make them slaves  
to my non-stop babble "a-ga a-da" 
"goo-goo gaga”, “coo”, ma-ma" and "da-da." 
Staring at frightful strange faces falling 
to my belly, a bubble, Ppppprrrrrrrrrrtttt, blowing.
I giggle, but they...

YOU? Why are YOU up in here, all on the prowl,
looking closely at me, causing me to scowl?
DUDE, can't you see anger set in my jowls?

I just arrived brand new, so I still remember
how my last life ended one cold September
when someone - YOU -...

You know what?
Guess what I got
And no I’m not wet
But you can guess
I'm hyper, bit kiper,and niper, 
La, la  I got a dirty diaper

Why did not you
cross the black river
and remained innocent ?
Unhealed, failed inside, broken and honest ?

You won the race,
the space, the heaven.
Moving away to the farthest blackness.
Your god sits crosslegged, clotting.

Brown hands on white shoulders, boneless
move in circle. Deportation
of words opens the green wounds.
Birds carry...

My mum and dad are over there
Waving my bottle without a care
They know its making me mad
But say I’m still a handsome lad

My eyes are on that prize
They say I need to rise
Up on my hands and knees
But I think I’m going to sneeze

There’s a...

The silly man wants me to smile.
Been making faces for a while.
My mom and dad are standing by
just grinning hoping I won’t cry. 

I’m ill. I’m tired. I missed my nap.
Just filled my diaper full of crap.
I’m hungry too. Smile? I will NOT!
Don’t care if...

He was always so needy
Needed to be in some woman's arms
They liked holding him close to them,
looking at his baby face
Baby loved sucking the bottle,
he couldn't keep a job
because he always failed the breath test
But baby didn't cry,
he always had some woman give him the...

She cries like a baby,
And whines till she’s held,
She is a baby,
My baby,
My sister,
She cuddles,
Like a mother and her child,
With me.
She drinks milk,
And is cute,
She balances with ease,
Oh my kitty,
I love you so!...

I am only seven months old and I wonder
What will they feed me today
Will it be carrots yuck I ate those yesterday
Will it be pudding nope, dad just ate that today

I wonder when they will change me
This pee and poop stinks
Can they not hear me...

Hey momma
Oh you’ve gone pale
You recognize THIS face
Pure concentration
Sheer determination

Hey momma
Can you smell what I’ve done
I’ve  s  q  u  e  e  z  e  d out a big pooh
I bet you can’t wait
To change my crappy nappy!

BABY FACE...

A baby face thinking alone
where all the smiles have gone.

I look utterly amazed all around me 
when with my mother I often go out,
angry faces of high strung people I see,
without any rhyme or reason they shout.

Faces covered by clouds of despair,
hopes melt in secret...

Baby Face What's You Thinkin


Who's that with her hands reaching out?
I know what she's thinking...
She's smiling...but I don't know her!
No way, lady, no way
will you snatch me from my mama!

Hmm...she is getting much too close. 
So...here's my nasty face!
I am not as cute as you...
