Ode to my lil' zygoteA Poem by Maxwell RyderDedication to a being to become April 17, 2015
You don't even have a name
You don't even have a sex, So far as I can guess; You're the size of a green olive, An ugly alien being of me, But not a spitting image, just yet; You're a human specimen, at best. I imagine you splitting now After a frenetic, zygotic tryst, Just growin' Sown from my spilt seed, And her egg that descended in heat. You swam upstream, risking all, To frisk an ova named Postawova That fled her imprisonment -- A rolling stone, Which jailbroke her fallopian, Gathering no clover And shooting no opium. I speculate on the scene below, Whether you're comfortable or not In utero, Or in need of a hand -- How are ya doin' in there? If you need anything, I'm your man! Next stop is your ABCs, Then I'm passing you off To a metaphysical world, by God! When you grow up, perchance You can persuade them of Their miraculous odds, Or their murderous goverments. Though you've left me astonished And convinced, I did not. © 2017 Maxwell Ryder |
