Precarious joy


I found it!  
I love this picture.

I hear tut-tutting:
What irresponsible person
put this child on roller scates!
Look at all that concrete
and those sweet chubby knees...

But look at that face
Reflecting with a twinkle
the cry of outrage.

Also a cry of :
Look at me!
Joining with the viewer
in that precarious joy
of doing something new.
