She held him like a dangling participle, as mothers sometimes do. Disconnected from her sentence, he was held on but stiffly confused. He possesses a birthright to her hard-wiring, or is it mandatory? Woman-datory? Umbilical, precedence will or won't inherit addictive behaviours. Likability of some traits but not others, wishing he wasn't. More like her, realisations go awry. Pattern of outstretched arms dangling that boy. His diaper is off, and jettison's stream, so caution. Hiking along the forgotten path, brambling overgrowth blocked his continuing. He cuts a new path. She cuts the umbilical.

Dangling Modifiers or Modifying Danglers
She held him like a dangling participle, as mothers sometimes do. Disconnected from her sentence, he was held on but stiffly confused. He possesses a birthright to her hard-wiring, or is it mandatory? Woman-datory? Umbilical, precedence will or won't inherit addictive behaviours. Likability of some traits but not others, wishing he wasn't. More like her, realisations go awry. Pattern of outstretched arms dangling that boy. His diaper is off, and jettison's stream, so caution. Hiking along the forgotten path, brambling overgrowth blocked his continuing. He cuts a new path. She cuts the umbilical.
