20cc's Of D5w

Just one dose
Help them to smooth out and handle his growth
His new joints itch
Stretched by the proteins that harden the bone

Breathe

Once he tried
Stood up on his toes with a language that died
And Oh my world
Scuffed at the corners and paved under lies

Breathe

Two thousand years on
Two thousand reasons to think this is dumb
He picks up the knife
Puts it back on his plate with the fork and his life

Breathe
