i was wrapped in pregnant thought for for 15 months. rather a long
gestation period you'd say.
and then i gave birth.
to a form. it had little i could recognise. nothing an odinary parent would
look for in an an odinary child.
but i was abnormal. i had been pregnant for fifteen months, see. so in that
package, i looked for form. sure- it was right there. a form.
whatever that may have been.
it was quiet crazy. it was had sharp turns and was twisted where you'd least
expect it to be.
so i tried to figure out a semblance to this twist that would connect it
to my day and life.
perhaps a mauled up tyre of a crashed bike.perhaps something not so
morbid.entangled in thought, entangled in a passionate kiss, maybe entangled
in a heap of mud- growing roots.
i had given birth to imagination. my baby would never know his shape.he would
draw upon one. he'd decide what he was.whatever he liked to be.
and once he has done that, he'd feel happy. and some part of his shape will
change. this would be to all who care, a smile.
his very own.and most beautiful.
a place you don't want to go
