the baby boy

needs
demands
takes
cries
sits
pisses on walls
eats
wastes
his mouth open
hands closed
but to grab
take
need
demand
thankless child
covers only
himself
he needs
takes
demands
need
take
nothing else
from this
gross
gracious
sickening
generosity
undeserved
revoked
for such
continuous
impoliteness
disrespect
of what's required
beyond
his need
his demand
himself
closed hands
cast eyes
dull heart
as his shadow
seeps into
us all
through this crack
