"small child"

You dream
you are in a store. On the shelves
you see boxes: "Small Child" each
one says. Different pictures
on each. And you take one down
and get it home, open it up
- and you awake! As dream
logic fades, you wonder
what lesson it all
could teach. What
you could take
away from all this. But
there in your room

you see your small
child.

Its eyes blink wide,
and it says
"It is what
it is."
