Waiting is stupid
Wanting is dumb
I wish when I was little
I ****** on my thumb

Maybe my kid will
She'll be beautiful
Already here, in my tummy
Not to say I’m with child
But she's one good **** away
From the light of day

I’ll teach her colors to name
And birds to watch
Summer comes and goes
But salmon mostly try to swim upstream
I'll tell her that too, in case
She wants to get matching tattoos.

For the record, mine is a trout
His name is Hawkeye though he really only has
a good view of the middle of my ribcage
(Forgot to tell the artist to face him towards the outside world,
Now he is forever looking inside of me.
Forever watching over my children and my liver,
Keeping tabs on them for the day I give life or get death.)
