this child is a small one, <br />just taking in its first gulps of <br />arid air, <br />it is only a moment or two <br />before the choking <br />and the spluttering will start <br />(again) . <br />but it can be stopped <br />(smoothly) <br />with the swipe of a crusty foot.<br /><br />Remya Sasindran<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-classroom-3/
