\nthe wild child of Borneo,
\nfreestyle and newly created each day.
\nRoll me in your arms when I wake you,
\na plasticine boy; a malleable,<\/p>\n
\nMy fingers are curled round scissors loops,
\ncutting round arcs, paper rainbows,
\nwith snippets like a ticker-tape trail.
\nI’m Hansel through the rooms.<\/p>\n
