The Talk
The Talk
(9.4.10)
"The Talk:",
He hesitated,
"Everyone
Becomes
Interested in
Reproduction
During different, developmental
Stages."
(Assurances are always awkward;
Nothing new.)
Dad dodged
"The Talk" 'til I turned twenty two.
He honestly
Expected
Bewilderment by
Education,
Even though everybody knows, each infant grows in a secret station
So its strong enough for the long aviation of being taken, by delivery stork, to it's home.
(This poem was written specifically for Carol Brown's "The Birds and the Bees" poetry
contest.)
