PREGNANCY TEST
by
Shoshauna Shy
Plastic
tube far stronger
than
bone, and so won’t shatter.
Not
even after 300+ acts
of
intercourse, two intra-uterine
inseminations,
a hysteroscopy,
a
year of yoga with visualizations,
four
spa get-aways, five baby showers,
one
younger sister expecting twins,
marital
severance last night
threatened,
now this good swing
of
a hammer.
