Spud
Do you think that the little spud can hear us,
Swimming around inside your belly?
Do you think that the tyke will be damaged
because you laid on the heating pad for too long?
I don’t think so.
Maybe if you had a fever of 105
for an extended period of time.
Do you think that Jr knows who we are.
How long do you think he or she is by now.
Eight inches?
I think that it’s weird
that the baby just swims around
in its own urine inside there.
You know I like to spoon with you
and rub your belly.
It feels neat.
I like the way the skin feels
taught yet soft.
Do you think the little spud
knows that I am doing that?
I wonder what spud’s soul is like.
Do you think it has been
waiting around long for this to happen?
Do you think he or she will have my huge nose?
I hope not.
I know that the kids at school
will find something to tease about though.
When do you think our hearts will be broken for the first time?
