His mother says he's special
knowing he won't believe her
that his chin won't lift an inch
but she rests her hand upon his back
and she's done her part.
Well, he was wrong today
and I covered my ears
so his disconcerted back in the seat in front of me
could mean he's sanding a new birdhouse,
concentrating gravely,
instead of digging his nails into his hands
and begging them to tell him why it happened that way.
