The sprinkles may crawl into the roll, the yellow -- ones especially.

[ The sprinkles may crawl ]
That little boy we both know, his nose dabbed with whipped cream, smiling ice cream lips, chin speckled with sprinkles like his freckles. everything that feeling is, is you.

You sit at the table with your blue and yellow crayons Quietly coloring tigers and waving the fingers of your left hand. You proudly show your decorated notebook; the one you alone created. Safety plans, behavior charts, conflict resolution, and coping. You're asked if you understand rules and regulation, The look on your face as you color a second tiger purple, tells me different. Searches coming and searches going looking for sharps. Supervision daily, hourly, minute by minute How then, can this be self-harm? You sit in the van with your ninja turtles backpack Quietly whispering, repeating, comforting words. You proudly show your decorated notebook; the one you alone created. Tigers, elephants, horses, cars, houses, and nostalgia faces. You're asked if you understand stability and foster families, The look on your face as you chew on your shirt, tells me different. Days gone and months in this new place You are doing so well, so great Bedroom upstairs in the corner All your favorite things have their space Tell me one thing gained here?
