Would You Like Me to Walk Your Baby


I said to the couple on the airplane.
Don’t worry; I won’t drop him. I’m a dancer;
I never drop anything. Besides, I’m good with babies;
        I have huge breasts & big eyes.
He’s just having a little altitude earache. I’ll bounce him
on my huge breasts and sing something under my breath.
We’ll just take a little stroll down the aisle;
let you two get some shut-eye.
Sure, it’s narrow, but so am I.
        I have no hips to speak of.
Give me your baby, I said with my widening smile,
my enormous breasts, and my pointy pointy shoes.
