SAID THE GYNECOLOGIST TO THE GIRL
As I lay with my legs in stirrups,
the gynecologist says:
“Your ovaries are stunning!”
I think, she must say that to all the girls.
I imagine my ovaries on display
in a modern art museum--
the halogen lighting practically burns them.
The two white orbs rest in the palms
of the fallopian tube.
That is stunning, I guess.

Something spooky: When I was little, around age 5 or so, I ran downstairs late on Christmas Eve, looked in the living room, and saw a person standing there. I thought it was Santa, so I ran into my parent's bedroom to tell them--they both told me to go to sleep. I look back now thinking, "Wow, that was probably a burglar." This creeps me out!
