Fizzy with joy

A warning:
that kid
will play peek-a-boo
with you
for three hours
straight
if you can
take it.

Look at his eyes
blaze.

His heart flaps madly
against his ribs.

He is fizzy
with joy.

You grow
bored
and yawn in his face
but he
endures.

He thinks
it’s a new game.

The wide open mouth
game.

He is small
but his frenzy for your
affection
will swallow you.

Your only hope
is to make him your
master.

Smile at strangers
like you love them
and imagine that
you have never known
disappointment.
