What is dust?
Does the child suffer? The child is suffering.
Is the child cruel?
The child crushes the world at will, the child destroys with angelic decorum, the child bleeds into his own drinking water and smiles to see color a demon and delirium the child is born knowing and screaming and there is pain in his fist when he enters and there is pain as if the atoms which whirl mad in their completeness were tiny childbirths and it is the cruelty of children which presses upon the innocent earth and coal turns to diamond.
What is to perish?
What is to choose?
What is to crush?
