88) A Full Belly

Wolran Kim


Tapping a friend’s belly that isdue
One day it’s cute and another day, it’s creepy like a beast
A soft weapon may be growing in the womb like a watermelon
The mysterious, shiny paradox is the best spear and shield on earth
The natural selection crisis of hunger is like spectating a fire from afar
Stubbornly ignoring the dangers of the ecosystem’s natural balance
3D genes that hide the resting stagearedivided often
Hormones like a dormant volcano lie flat,like stopping aneruption
Growing for nine months from drinking sap like an IV
As a dark shade of a holograms’ silhouette
The baby weighs the mom’s ability,who is a walking bottle
An expensive, arrogant kid laughs and says, “Do you want to adopt me?”
Are you dreaming of a Caesarean section?
Or dreaming of a natural childbirth?
Imitating God, who gives life
Giving birth to a loser in the swirl of unlimited competitions
Dear friend, who is trapped in motherhood
“If you really want to be a host to a parasite, get a gigolo.”*
Getting bulky and flat, and bulky again, a mammal’s play
Walking erectly for eighty years on the road
Remindedof the initial, rusty dream
She, who is full with satiety, breathing everyday
Is walking away with the happiest smile
The smile replaces the 40 good reasons not to have children
With the 400 good reasons to have children

My belly gets big whenever I pass by her full belly
It is getting hard, the pains are coming soon

* From “No Kids: 40 Good Reasons Not to Have Children” by Corinne Maier
