Before we began our campaign
Few were aware of the problems
Of having a ninja baby. Born
stealthy
Some of them are three months old
Before their parents catch more
Than the most flighting glimpse of
them.
There is something unnerving –
believe me--
About a silent baby, dressed in
black
Clinging next to the window
at 3 A.M.
Squinting thoughtfully at the moon
As if only it understands her.
No matter the parents your ninja child
Is, of course, Japanese.
Communicating
Can be extremely difficult.
Nor can one use sitters who are
not masters
Of a wide variety of martial arts
