“Don’t use the funnies for your painting. I want to clip them out later.”<\/p>\n
“Can you imagine that girl didn’t know she was pregnant?”<\/p>\n
“Do you think I could be pregnant and not know it?”<\/p>\n
“Do you think you could be pregnant and not know it?”<\/p>\n
I thought the answer was no.
\nBut here i am, brush loaded with paint.
\nSo hungry.
\nSo bloated.
\nSo pained. <\/p>\n
All these years you’ve been gone,
\nYour clipped funnies fading in their album,
\nAnd still my belly grows
\nWith the dreams planted.<\/p>\n
Are these the labor pains
\nTo awaken me from my engorged ignorance?
\nIn my heedless pursuits,
\nWiping my brushes first on business,
\nThen on obituaries,
\nHave I built a child
\nOr a bubble of gas?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
