Stream of consciousness -- part 34


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?
