too young to learn
the rudiments of life
still in his nakedness
living at the edge of a knife
early immersion in the can of worms
where he will be consumed or pass
or be blown away by storms
and be a dog’s breakfast

Ah, the age of innocence. But, it looks as if they work there ? Or just playing at the site ? Child labor, perhaps ? But they’re just babies !
