Put him away now
the little man stick him
back with the family silver - sharply!
You'll polish him another time
should life resume. You'll eat with
fingers now - scrounge! Adore your
nails going long the better to claw
deeper into remains. Oh that too: forget
fresh, new. Sloppy seconds
from here out, past repast strictly.
But no worry nourished you'll be - see!
That's how it is when one who came
after went before -- your child.
