Fetus
 
  An inviable cell mass (w/ a pulse) , says
Science,
the same that casts

the Moon as a big dead rock
orbiting
a crusty, whirling water balloon.

The Sun is just
a ball
of hot gas, at most a nuclear reaction

that happened countless
light years
ago. And the offender,

pregnant woman, so much
skin &
bones & frayed hormones.

The Moon inspires, illuminates
smoothly tides
oceans the world over. The Sun

warms, nourishes, makes the
grass grow, and
the Pregnant woman,

Mother, Wife, Daughter, Sister,
- life beating time in her uterus-
was more than just a pretty face

long before the Programmer said so.
