Babies Should
Babies should pull themselves up by their bootstraps. Babies should not
sell out. Babies should make a judgment call. Babies should try not to
make such a mess while eating. Babies should think outside the box.
Babies should sleep through the night. Babies should push the envelope. Babies
should expand their horizons. Babies should keep it simple. Babies
should
maximize their potential. Babies should be proactive. Babies should
fight
the power. Babies should not put their hands in the toilet. Babies
should
prioritize. Babies should empower themselves. Babies should consider
the
bottom line.
The Kind of Conversation You Never Had
The kind of conversation
you never had, a kind
that harkens back to
another kind.
Trying to remember
unmemorable things,
and being sideswiped
by other memories --
they come buzzing back
with twice the force
of the original. It's like
time condenses emotion
then releases it, some kind of
chemistry experiment
and we end up drenched
in an unknown substance.
