It's a Girl
Odalisque indirectly
Before she was ever born
Entombed and crowded
As mother’s inner thighs are worn
Emphysema by proxy
On a chest that never rose
Virginia Slims enshrouded
As if by mother’s scorn
Lush symbiotically
Ere even able to nap
Waking would be hung over
If not for mother’s nightcap
Stillborn silently
Matricidal in her fall
Their family died diseased
Without existing at all
Before she was ever born
Entombed and crowded
As mother’s inner thighs are worn
Emphysema by proxy
On a chest that never rose
Virginia Slims enshrouded
As if by mother’s scorn
Lush symbiotically
Ere even able to nap
Waking would be hung over
If not for mother’s nightcap
Stillborn silently
Matricidal in her fall
Their family died diseased
Without existing at all
