#teething
another task i accomplished
another way i can rummage
too concerned with becoming
need to be concerned with substance
i believe it, i dream it
i believe it, i mean it
i construct boundaries like an architect
i construct melodies in mythology
i pretend i am better than i am
i pretend to receive apologies
i can accomplish even if i am not the best
perfectionism teething
i pretend i am better than i am
skewed reasoning

I am sorry little one
I know all the cuddles and the kisses in the world can't ease your pain
Doesn't stop me from giving them though
Your baby teeth are relentless
Just like everything else in your life to come
But like that too they are just another step
And they cannot be stopped
So I'll hold you a little closer
And kiss you a little more
Soon your baby teeth will be here
And the next step of life begins

A little bite
A little bit different every time
In the bedroom
On the mat
All the scratching
knocking
kicking
pulling
And yes biting
Deep down inside
I know what you like
Know all the things you bite
I recall where it all started
I wash and scrub and brush and clean
The more I struggle, the more you bite
I want to make you stop
But you go for the next thing
And more...
