my first poem, early biography of me and who i now know to be my biological dad
Cell number 2. Hand selected, cultivated, a swimmer, tied at the finishing line..
Blue gloves determine the womb deserved.Â
9 months later removed, dissected out,
2nd to the first, male.
No tears, no fuss,
waiting for the next order
Measured. Legs long,
head circumference small,
hair red, eyes blue
Milestones completed, all is well
Does he know?
Cell no.2 has grown
Cell no.2 is flawed, conscious of self.Â
Can he know?
Tower Hamlets homes Creator 1. A former poet, comedian…
Was no.2 one of his jokes?
Does she know?
Park view homes cell no.2. Does she know?
What was she made for?
