full grown and marching

the baby
learns quickly to open
his or
her mouth
for the tiny spoon of food
that's coming
towards them.
they learn
how to cry on cue when
needing a change,
or wanting to be
held
safely in someone's arms,
or to be rocked
to sleep.
they are innocent
and helpless
and perpetually needy.
some
get over this behavior,
while others
continue on.
just look at them,
full grown and marching
in the streets.
