Tainted Welcome

Chemical Suspected in Cancer Is in Baby Products http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/18/business/18chemical.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1

The new research found that foam samples from more than a third of the 101 baby products that were tested contained chlorinated Tris. Overall, 80 of the products contained chemical flame retardants of some kind, some of which are considered toxic, though legal to use.

Lurking within the first place you rested,
Drinking mother’s milk,
A pillow of softest fleece;

Lining the first place you sat,
A cherry wood high chair covered with flocks of birds;

Padding your car seat,
Pale green and seemingly perfect;

Hidden inside your carrier,
Suspending you, nestled against me,
In a bloom of chemicals.
