If I was a baby,
I wouldn't mind the sticky crimson on my hands.
If you were my baby,
I may have been okay with your sticky smugness when I called you out.
But I'm not a baby,
and you're not my baby,
and you'll never call her baby
again.

I took my son and niece to Gori, a small town in Georgia where Joseph Stalin was born. They talked me into visiting the Stalin's Museum, the largest in the post-Soviet space. I had resisted going there because I just can't stand the monster and know enough about him, or so I thought.
