babies
do not need faster internet,
they just want you to hold them.
they go nuts for peekaboo and whatever weird nonsense songs you make up;
in fact, they invented chortling.
babies are shameless and brave
wearing their diapers out in the world.
babies aren’t afraid of anything, except your ceasing to exist when you leave their sight for even a second.
otherwise, babies are super chill.
they do what they want without obsessing.
that said, babies are terrible with boundaries
says me, a fine one to talk;
“love me love me love me” nonstop, in baby code;
good thing you are fluent
in head over heels.
