the.coup.
there have been 134,556 maggots born in mud
since the last one that knew where they came from.
but one gon learn today.
the shorts in mud were stoic,
not laughing, not cooing, not crying.
suspended in transparent incubators,
something like the inside of a space shuttle.
lia had held one the other day
and she swore to nonee it was her own baby.
imagining lia breastfeeding
made it seem as if you could have a real bond with whatever child you had.
a short might as well have been a rat to most boxes. nothing more than an inconvenience.
but because of lia,
she pictured a little boy that looked just like ease,
looking up at her from her bosom just as ease had a few nights before…
