which to put where

I wanted healthy

(giving birth)

but healthy never came

she didn’t even telephone

to say where she was staying

well what am I to do?

(I think)

I can’t just keep it in

my legs are stiff

my back is sore

and god, I need a drink

so I push and push

and push and push

so much

I almost faint

and I thought conception was tiring work

(I’m thinking)

think again
