my first Toy

was a lively thing

until it wasn't...

don't know if,

it ran out of charge

or, the remote had

just stopped working?

it used to come running

whenever I hollered

half or whole

it used to coo and awe

at random moments,

rolling over, touching toes

it took turns rocking

me to sleep

on various days

of the week

it made me treats

on waking, and fed me

piece...

in creamy spoonfuls,

until milkened honey

was thinly replaced

by formula...

new and old school

miscalculations

stiff parallel talks

in bus or car and

big kid toys...

but I still recall

holding on

loosely

across the too busy street

and the way it waved

from the far side

suddenly

smaller than me
