In Utero

My earliest memory

is stepping out of a

long white Cadillac

and landing in your mouth

Behind your teeth

there was a horse

who gave me directions

to a dark room

where I rested

and grew fingers and toes

I lived there

nine month

although

it felt like twelve

I emerged

from your body

on March 17, 1967

I was pissed
