I always have enough room for a lady. I now graciously to my Colombian Musa. But, Maureen, I always enjoy reading you. I was drawn to this poem because of Stein's "a rose is a rose is a rose." That single line redefined my word choice. But your poem also reminded me of a quote, "I didn't come from your rib bone, but you came from my vagina.

Interesting... One of the names of God in Hebrew is 'Ha-Rachaman,' the Merciful One. The middle letters -- racham -- which form the root of the world, translate as 'womb!' Food for thought there, in combination with your poem … ~ Gershon

There was a man with tongue of wood Who essayed to sing, And in truth it was lamentable. But there was one who heard The clip-clapper of this tongue of wood And knew what the man Wished to sing, And with that the singer was content. © Stephen Crane WISHFUL THINKING If my voice was but a croak I'd write my lyric on a mountain high So all the world could see Note, I say not sing. Lest they were in harmony. There I go again, wishful thinking. © Mick Talbot 2018

Indeed clever, inspired this: If men had an inkling of a womb? Would they allow it to be used, why do men play with life? Creation? Women forced in many lands. Used by men for pleasure! If there is a God, is this his plan? Women dammed, innocents too! Amused? no? Nor I! Well then! If there is a God? Then tell me, tell me why? It turns a blind eye to all evil! Children taken from their parents, locked in cages! Not right! With respect to your good self and all who reads this. Mick

YES! Man would always need God for God is Man's source of knowledge and life so without God Man is an impossibility for Man is finite!

If there was no God, there'd be no man or woman.
