of a certain age

children

of a certain age, some
at least,

don't know.
not yet.

there is nothing in their
eyes

but now.
there are no yesterdays

no tomorrows.
it's what they can reach,

what they can put
into their mouth.

the arms of a parent.
the cradle,

the musical star above
them

spinning slowly
about.
