赤子

baby

the baby doesn’t do much

but is full of energy

only a baby

can freak out

so loud and so long

without getting hoarse

it is soft

defenceless

and demands to be defended

no one would dare

attack the baby

its head is empty

so it can go from

freaking out

to smiling

faster than you can say

“small sage”

from chapter 55 of the Daodejing
