Under The Influence

I am currently under the influence of...




 perfectly perfect nine-month-old sweetness.

Of little perfectly new white Chiclet teeth, 


Of big sparkling blue eyes,

Of little happy giggles and whispery gibberish, 

Of fattened arms and legs with little rubberbands at the perfect intervals...

Of sweet little ticklish feet and corn kernel toes,

Of a quiet room, a creaky rockin' chair, and a sweet little angel breathing sweetly as he sleeps.

I don't care if I never sober up...
