#Infancy

Infancy is the sacred ritual immediately after birth, when one proclaims existence through tears and drags adults into a state of war with their sleep schedules. Every appetite is expressed bodily while rejecting the convenience of language, expertly manipulating the sympathy of others. Its performance of helplessness is professional level, and every gesture toys with the caretaker’s emotions and calendar. Ultimately, it establishes an unwritten law that all is solved with a cry, securing its role as society’s emergency brake.
