Sonnet: Whimsical Children
Failing to open, no matter how hard the rain,
the umbrellas they carry. Talking back to their
parents, no matter how hard they beat them.
Beating their heads against pillows, no matter
how long they've been sleeping. Speaking in tongues
that can barely melt butter. Listening for words
they've never read before. Finding what's under
the rocks in the garden. Posing new questions
for which their parents never have answers.
