AH, miniature humans!!!

little julie
soft and gooey
toddling fluidly
everything so new

i command her quite sternly
but always very lovingly
giggly giggles
and wordless emotions

i pick her up
and tousle her backwards
upside down handstands

during the day
i take her in my arms
and hop UP TOP
my mountains of cushions
i cradle her in
my toasty nook

as i sniff her head
its off to bed!
and we laze and dream
together, it seems
best friends in a way

i consider her my pet
except she’s much more complex
than a cat or a dog
or a warty old frog

shes just like my bird
but totally NOT
shes a cute little kid,
and i love her a lot.
