the wild child is coming to stay
we are preparing for the day
a whirlwind of smiles
in all kinds of styles
her holsters are loaded
with two new teeth
which so far
have given her no grief
she has no fear
a fact that is very clear
as she pulls herself to stand
starting her fall down again plan
at nine months she is opening
the front door
and crawling out onto the porch
to look for more
the wild child
hanging by the chandelier
with one hand
and reaching out
for what is next with the other
she totally bypassed baby food
not in the mood
we conclude
she will be here soon
with smiles and good cheer
grandma and gypsy
will stay near
although what we will do
is still not very clear
