Embry-Ode
Embry-Ode Copulation, population keeps exploding No contraceptives, sense of foreboding Impregnate, gestate, nine months to go A future human being joins in the show Embryo, embryo, curled inside a womb Hotter than an oven, darker than a tomb Bleeding me, feeding me, umbilical cord Biding my time and praying to the Lord Restrictive, predictive, do an ultrasound I am going to be a baby boy they found Kicking, ticking, the countdown clock Purchase some books by Doctor Spock Push now, hush now, you’re doing right I’m almost there, I can see the daylight Quivering, delivering, nurse will beat me Smack my bottom, nice way to greet me Bathe me, swathe me, in some incubator Counting my toes with a solar calculator Slurping, burping, I have got a little gas Please rub my back and then kiss my ass Seething, teething, sprouting premolars Soon they will rot with too many Colas Chewing, spewing, processed baby food Causes indigestion and a real bad mood Chuckling, suckling upon my baby bottle Mama reads Freud but I’m into Aristotle Eironikos, pikrocholos, tongue in cheek She does not know I am talking Greek Daniel, Nathaniel, which name to choose? Everyone airs their own personal views Giggling, wriggling, as they wipe my bum Now look out world, because here I come!
