Barbara, Do You Think It’s “Because of the Fall?”

I plotted escape from baby chair
from quelle bore of a class my Mom taught,
while scanning my digs fell through the air
broke open my head at its soft spot,
I issued no tears mute from my scare.

Mom held me to her and resumed.. fraught;
Leaving class before end she'd not dare,
This hardly the adventure I'd sought
my thumping head welcomed Doctors care
when to an end class finally got.

My mind flashes to an old black and white photo of a brave baby girl smiling through the black bars of an ICU bed.
