Why Do You Come From, Baby Dear

- Abstract

The whole world’s gone fertile with a
vengeance.

Each morning’s mail brings news of a baby
born.

I change no diapers, nor walk in morning
Hours to still a child. I stand outside
(Real nose to proverbial window)
And hear the pink-edged message (maybe
blue-
Baby blue) tapped out on my mailbox floor.
