small boy

Small boy, aged four, and Mr. Potato Head
Share quality time together in cyberspace.
How is it that a boy so small
Knows about download, click and play
As though some alien collective consciousness
Bestowed computer literacy in the womb?

 

Quick bright eyes glued to the screen,

Tip of tiny tongue protrudes between baby teeth
He manoeuvres his game
Paints Tater Head different colours
Breaks him into virtual pieces,
Virtually puts him together again.
