Sitting in their small houses.
Staring at their large parents.
Wondering what will happen.
Craving attention
The way a vulture craves rotting flesh.
Surviving in that jungle.
Growing through another day.
Listening with imagined ear trumpets
To Mom and Dad fight and yell.
And their pain grows larger as they do.
