| IN VITRO |
ON THE POLITICAL SITUATION, August 1990.
|
When birth precedes gestation,
Malformation must occur.
|
In nature abhors a vacuum,
It detests unnatural disorder.
|
We crescent-curled embryos,
First thought, then words, then flesh,
|
Were conceived in political vitro,
And implanted from a wish.
|
We have grown middle-aged,
Waiting to be born.
|
And for umbilical sustenance,
From within we’ve gnawed the womb.
|
Enlarging in uterine darkness,
Blind instincts have undergone change.
|
Love has curved into sickle hate,
Patriotism for matricide exchanged.
