And Here We Come! A Poem
Let my stomach stick out — and sing.
Let it rest beyond my thigh and be seen
Shifting this way and that.
Let me laugh –
and watch it shake.
Let me dance and watch it bounce.
It is we! And HERE we come — bursting through the doors.
It’s ahead of me. Leading me –
Into assembly.
Belt below waist.
Pants above stomach.
Life spent sleeping –
Now awake.
A taste of reality.
Sweet and bitter.
Remember where I was–
And where I am now!
And Fill this belly!
Until it is full!
