That you present yourself

full-blown in an innocent child,

That you peer out from his clear eyes

with your fogged gaze,

That you speak his tongue

using your twisted words,

That you turn up his internal volume

making silence intolerable

That you move his arms to your means

stealing his hugs of comfort,

That you shut him up in bare white rooms

removed.

That you turn on a dime

activating an avalanche of creative energy,

That you bring him into the stratosphere

delirious with unbound joy,

That you dance recklessly about his mind

jubilant in your own wicked power,

That you do this effortlessly

knowng the Big Crash awaits,

That you do this

to a child.
