Chapter 34
October 27, 2011 -- Morning
My house
Is toddler-proof
Everything sharp
Caustic
Toxic
Or otherwise
Dangerous
Is locked up
And out of
The reach of
My son
But my son
Is not yet three
And stands
A little over
Three feet tall
How do I
Make my house
Safe
For a six foot three inch
Suicidal
Adult?
