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
