Back It Up Poem by S.MICHAEL DOWNS

Back It Up



Let’s all back up and start over.
Embryo to embryo. Sac to sac, fluid bursting
And small eyes startled by the light.

Pop out and let’s not start by crying.
Maybe the doctor can tell a good joke.
Maybe the nurse could do a strip tease.

Entertain me for cryin’ out loud.
It’s a long hard road…
And I’m naked


(2007)
