Just A Baby

No "It's A Boy!" cigars, fuzzy lambs, pacifiers or rattlers awaiting his arrival. No documented birth weight and height, exact time of birth.

A 5lb. 4oz. package of abandonment was whimpering like a trapped kitten. The back alley trash bin is where the local veterinarian found the newborn baby. Healthy, pink, naked, dark-haired and very much alive. Wrapped in a Wal-Mart bag surrounded by other waste, umbilical cord still attached.

No note. No blanket. Just a baby.
