I am pregnant

Oh yes I am pregnant,
A pregnant man can be repugnant,
But this is different yet not indifferent,
Pregnant with a thousand different ideas,
Ideas too critical for still births,
No, they must be born with care,

Arrrrrrrh the birth pangs almost kill me,
I am in labor with no midwives attending,
I need a thousand different birth canals,
Ink the size of ten thousand oceans,
To indelibly capture the burdens of my mind,
On the tablets of human hearts,'

I am very pregnant and until I birth these babies,
I shall have no rest, no peace!
The amnion is broken,
Only birthing labor will free me!
