yes, this place is quite cozy,
although it is solitary.
but just enough room is in here
to start my early development
a couple of months pass,
i sense a pain
like a dagger at my throat.
i'm too weak to fight,
too underdeveloped to scream
i give up in bitter surrender.
at least the pain has ended for me.
my mother sighs a sigh of relief,
for i, the source of all her problems,
no longer live. Keith Remo
