He's in the garden
pulling wings off butterflies.
crushing bugs,
frightening tiny frogs.
Four years of age
and he learns as much by cruelty
as by wonder.
Will he someday bruise a woman
to test love's limits?
Will he stomp down on others
to reach a higher rung?
It's just a stage kids go through,
says Joe.
Approaching likeness,
a father find his tongue.
