BABIES
10.06.22-01.25.23
mcpb

The more babies, the better

I can’t wait to have a grandson /
Then again as far as babies, I am one /

Babies are the best, check out their big cheeks /
I love how they progress, six months or six weeks /
I dig babies more than I love to dig for beats /
OMGeez look at em crawl away on thick knees /

Haha learning to stand up in tiny cowboy boots /
Wow boy that’s cute / listen to his owl toy hoot /

Still got lanugo all over his body /
Five rolls on each arm, blobby to the max /
obsessed with babies, how could one not be? /

Obvi won’t make fun of you if you fall asleep and drool a little / That would be a hypocritical, considering their pool of spittle /

Mixed feelings /
Tricks dealing with seeming conflicts /
A strong mix of inner kids revealing convicts /
A dominant identity picks the meaning /
But you're a wealth of selves /
One self is twelve /
Eyes sting /
Try singing /
Another inner kid's screaming /
The dam burst /
You're sixteen again /

Make eye contact and repeat back gibberish /
Parents tend to pretend they’re bigger fish /
than little kids just because inside they denied an inner wish /

Adults are a snooze / battled, bruised and scarred, easily rattled by the news /

Give me a toddler any day, I’m not scared to change a diaper / That’s right sir / I don’t care if you leaked it on your high chair / Compared to dealing with fuddy-duddies your deadly crud is nicer /

Babies take what they need and it’s not no IOU /
Cry on cue / Why won’t you? / To blow minds, show what pine cone do / Adults are like, “Ew, an iPhone 2?” /

Adults blow chunks / Slow punks spread more bile than grown skunks /

They can dish it out but they can’t take it out / Get off lucky if I merely break they snout / All their false bravado is see through is naked doubt /

Did you know eyeballs came from the front of your spine when you’re developing? / You’re younger than I am but none of us are dyin / If you’re listening, you’re all one-of-a-kind sons of mine / And daughters too / A gentle nudge in life as on a swing set / so ya learn new thing ya not do-ING yet / Return to Earth with a spring in ya step /

I love how babies ape me when i'm making crazy faces / I think you’ll a-gree I should do so til the age of 80 / Let’s stay free and get thru this century safely /
