do I know you,
do you know me?
noooooo !!!!!!
my belly [yes mine]
is it wearing a sign
"touch me-rub me"?
NO!!
did I invite you
to step into my space?
so close that I can't breathe-
too close for comfort,
my comfort-my belly!
yes, it is protruding,
yes I am pregnant,
yes there is a baby in there.
but is that a pass for you
to feel free to touch me,
MY belly, MY baby, MY personal space!
where have your hands been,
did you wash them?
-I just saw you come out of the restroom-
a public one.
aaahhhhh-public is the key...
the restroom is
MY belly is not!
step away,
they say that six feet is the proper distance
for personal space,
I want mine, I need mine,
my hormones are making me claustrophobic,
I might scream at you,
I might punch you!
hear me
as I am not speaking,
but I am thinking
I am screaming in silence,
caged words of annoyance;
at YOU and YOU!
at everyone
that feels free to touch me now
did you know that a belly is personal property
[even if it is sticking out]
so please-hands off, but would you be so kind,
look at my feet-do my shoes match?
I put them on in a hurry,
and it has been forever,
that I have been able to see
MY feet..........
