I AM A MOTHER I AM A MOTHER I AM A MOTHER I AM A MOTHER I AM A MOTHER…
Oh Prozac mother, the Medea in you, I am no citizen of here, don’t sound out for fear of babies or mucous or pee… Your own will be gone, your mouth, your nose, your eyes, your ears. As Salome whispering the head on John the Baptist, he laid her on a hot plate, her womb opened and broken. The nurse stared, ‘Did your pap smear clear dear?’ Oh prithdee hold your own baby.
