bought and given items,
littered across a carpeted floor
Bottles, books, and light-up toys
Made to be handled by sweet
little boys
Items, objects, pieces of form
Lifeless, lying, lonely
Picked up,
bottle, plastic and milk
Suddenly seems to be… real
Because he is using it
He is holding it
He is choosing it
Grubby hands, sweaty forehead
Precious, unrepeatable body in
progress
Sucks out life
And then he drops it
Bottle
Lying, lonely, happy
Fingerprints left on its body
