My uncle Randy used to run a baby fighting ring out in the suburbs. Actually he still does, only now he calls it “The Toddler Challenge!”
he fell down in a war
and he just kept falling
uncertainty
like a wound that opened up in is head
Sometimes he dresses the babies up like famous people. I guess Sarah Palin vs. Barack Obama is always a real crowd pleaser.
“Of course the babies aren’t real,” he sobs
“Nothing is. But when the crowd is going
and all the chaos of that intermingled
money and blood…
makes me feel safe ya know,
feels like a kind of home.”
