colic walrus

Enter into the world
a new life
small
walrus

you can't tell
but that baby
walrus
is crying

inconsolable

poor thing

not knowing what
it wants
needs

sit there with gleeful
smiles
painted on
plastic faces

unaware
of the pain
discomfort
etc.

on the inside
this young
walrus
is dying

faces plastered to
plexiglass windows
hands making smudges
fingerprints
oil

smile
laugh
at this anomaly
baby walrus
with colic

(Colic: Colic (also known as infant colic, three month colic, and Infantile colic) is a condition in which an otherwise healthy baby cries or screams frequently and for extended periods without any discernible reason [Wikipedia])
