Bedlam Baby

I remember you
cartoon smile and egg-shaped head.
Do you remember
how the rainbow formed on the water,
how the neon lights flickered,
or the scent of nectarines on your forehead?
They were happy to see for the first time
behind glass window,
between speaker box voices --
unopened package,
untouched collector’s item,
you shiny new contraption,
star of the play,
hero of the hour, 
flavor of the season.

Seed of your father,
soil of your mother.
Fruit of love,
fruit of conflict.
Decision’s aftermath,
delusion’s consequence,
Are you accident,
                    intention,
                            problem,
                                  solution?

Bough in the river,
wrenched in the current.
Hand reaching for hand,
hand holding your own.
Bedlam baby with the guilty smile
do you remember
how you would not fracture the  mullioned frame,
how you could not shatter porcelain,
or how you hid in changing alleys?

I will save you
you will save me.
My hand in yours.
I am the boat
you are the journey.

                      Pause 
           To protest, paradigms of         
       Patterned positions, pathways           
   Pegged precise. Postpone the push 
 And pull of passion prostrate, to push
 And pull in planned pulses...  in preset  
Partial pirouettes,purloin the progress of         
 Premeditated peace. Pressing, pacing,   
    Perspiring,to purchase a panacea         
         Of prisoners… The present           
                   Passes-Past.
