Life today is like looking at a carouselup goes one little horse, down comes another,
nausea still lingering on from the first trimester
as I focus on the motion
of generations past, present and future
in turn experiencing the mystery
of two people sharing one body
Pregnant I am round
and feel like Botero's mama ain't got nothing on me
visions of mobiles and merry-go-rounds crowding up my mind
when I am not too busy worrying about
just how much pain relief I can get and
"can you wake me up when it's all clean and proper please?"
Caught unaware but definitely red-handed
I am gathering up the courage to step onto the scary carousel myself
odds are I'll get off alive
and hopefully a little less round
