Some phrases that came to mind: Cat nap, Needle in a haystack, Time warp, A moment to remeber, the School of hard knocks. Did any of those solve anything? Interesting.

As much as I enjoyed this, I'm just going to accept it at face value
since I can't seem to come up with anything profound to add to it.

Except for the fun of childhood, we all should have been born adult! And time is quite the mystery! sam

How do you know the kitten knows nothing? I think all babies ( and why not kittens) know more than we give them credit for... Perhaps they come to us still remembering past lives... what they did, what they learned... Maybe they forget after a while among the craziness that is our life... As a kid I was told that the little indentation in the middle of the top lip is where angels kissed the baby to make him or her forget about what they had lived before... and being born an adult??? no way John... I would like to die a child... :-) Great poem... I truly enjoyed it. xoxoxo

I know I've heard about this kitten before. It's true, the kitten does know nothing. He is a purely physical being, concerned only with testing his bounds and discovering. I love the loopy logic inherent in this one :)

Well from the bottom, sorry if you have a picture of yourself as a baby you will know why.
Random thoughts perhaps your haystacks are a bit dusty. Watching the clock in the electric chair. That kitten one is tricky, I have to give up on that one and you see John it is possible that every particle of time is remembered by at least one person so if your big experience lasted forty minutes it means some one else had do make do, at a guess with two minutes.
I enjoy your poems, relieves the boredom of my own.
