there are two
one for the camera
squint eyes
pinch mouth
dimple chin jutted
look I’m three
I know how to smile
one for himself
in midst of play
giant eyes
shine teeth
ha laugh
I’m three
I see monsters to slay
and fires to douse and
I can play a trumpet fanfare for
all to hear
no camera needed
Nice! Shades (wrong word!) of "the small bright boy" in Cry, the Beloved Country.
