Earl Schumacker Poet Free verse

Baby's First Flight

If so inclined with reservations
Amniotic baby will float on water
Just around the corner of a smile
Embryological y correct you could say
Adequately enclosed in fluid aquatic
Practicing goo goo and gaga for mommy

Clothes would be nice
Naked is better
A hotel will suffice

Is this a room with a womb?
With an ashtray to steal?
With a balcony overlooking tomorrow?
A window to parachute out?

A room with a view would be nice
Where's the glasses and ice?
Where's the towels and mommy?

Umbilical ready for birth
Thumb in the mouth for security
Cord is secure according to Forbes
Don't want to bounce off the walls 
Not exactly a Wall Street journey
It's baby's first flight out

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart May 21, 2019 at 7:15 AM You do amaze me with your original, creative, clever way. Captivating piece Earl. Have a lovely day! mo Earl Schumacker May 21, 2019 at 4:25 PM Hi Maureen, I truly appreciate your comments and the fact that you enjoy my works. I think that you understand how I try sometimes to install a lot of stuff in a small place where there is no space to make it work. This poem tries to hover (with a lot of matter) above the subatomic level and it has now taken on a life of its own. After all, it is baby's first flight out. That is all that matters. Have a wonderful day. Take care, Earl
