Pasta and Broccoli

A boy
sitting in his high chair
eating his pasta and broccoli
mother prepared for him
seventeen months old
completely unaware
of any future paths
in life
other than
nap time and diaper changes
looking over at
his twin brother
as the remaining
pasta and broccoli
thrown to the floor
the milk
on its way
hits the wall instead
explodes
and the twins
completely carefree
as to which path
mother has in store
for them next
while mother wonders
when her path
of cleaning
pasta and broccoli
from the floor
and milk
from the wall
will come to an end
