Meeting Mom and Dad

Don’t do me any favors.
I don’t want to be born.
I love it here wherever.
It’s cozy, safe and warm!
 
I cannot bleed, or hurt or cry
if I do not exist;
so sheath your lance and please, please try
your very hardest to miss!
 
I’m fine right where I’m at and I
would just as soon resist
whatever force it is that guides
my kind to life from mist -
from 'this' -
that crams us into human beings;
mere prisons for souls that enlist!
 
Leave me here where I belong,
a faceless, nameless thought
administered through silent song
connecting eternity’s dots,
so I won’t end up as you are,
just momentarily caught
until the seasons sent by stars
are wrangled down to rot.
 
Creatio Ex Nihilio
 
Oh no, I’m real, I’M REAL!
Conceptus now I be!
I wanted never to reveal
my unscathed energy...
was satisfied to let life steal
itself away from me.
 
A blastula, a neonate, a growth spurt here and there;
there is no more avoiding it. I’m bound to breathe your air!
 
A fetus now?! Good night.
I’ll be a newborn soon -
OH NO! The light, the light... THE LIGHT!
I’m born! I’m one of you!
 
I’m ticking now, a breakable beast,
bombarded by coldness, wet.
I have no sense of anything
beyond fear and regret...
but something yonder is beckoning...
there may just be hope yet!
 
Who is this woman smiling
wearing tears the same as me?
Who is that fella’ crying
right beside her, happily?
They sure sound nice, inviting,
and they’re beautiful to see.
Maybe I’ll try one life I guess -
I’ve never had family.
 
(We’re all heading forward anyway
once Time eats energy.)
