Original Text
Wendy Agnew, "#36," The Lillian Lectures (Toronto: Coach House Books, 1998).
1Mothers got breasts
2ya know why?
3'cause a human baby
4tries to push it's way out the chest first
5and it keeps rammin' its head
6from the inside
7(till dents form)
8finally it tires
9and swims down to the vajina
10by then
11the horns are all thunked off
12I wish I was a rhino
13they go out the right hole
14first time
