another bottle

we need things
quickly.
fast food,
the drive through.
the microwave.
instant rice.
one minute oatmeal.
the third
date rendezvous.
we want the
cold to stop.
we want traffic
to move.
we are babies
in adult bodies,
needing, wanting,
babbling
at the full moon,
crying in our
cribs for
another bottle,
or to be held
or changed,
or sung to.
