Bloodlines
Even folks that are not attracted to feet?
say your feet are pretty.?
Your neck is long and graceful?
even those that don’t give a heck?
about necks say?
your neck is long and graceful.?
I could go on,?
but let it be acknowledged that you?
are a very well put together girl.?
Some say you are the daughter of Zeus?
but I am more a Neptune kind of guy;?
your mother and I?
know you were born in a Hospital in Islington, London.?
Mum had low blood pressure -?
you nearly killed her?
as you made your way?
to the surface of her ocean.?
You grew up, more beautiful year after year.?
Yesterday you phoned saying?
you were losing your powers;?
I had to inform you that being very pregnant?
you were now ready to ascend to your celestial thrown?
and that I do hope the new baby?
(even though the royal blood of a million interstellar gods?
flows through your veins),?
will not look like me.
