Fertility Mirage
Joanne Lagattolla
When I decide to shed my old jeans to wear K-mart maternity
clothes,
it wont be for a naked infant.
My baby will wear plaid.
Not bright pink or pale-blue or the assorted off shades, but strong
colors as the most androgenous being tha has ever existed, or will
exist.
My child will think plaid.
And see the world not as separate colors, but blendings of many cultures and beliefs that come together to form the world we live
in.
This adolescent will defend plaid.
And when society tells her to think a certain way, she will know the
importance of simple idleness and nonmaterialistic culture and be
herself.
This adult will buy plaid.
For her children to pass on the concepts for an ideal society by
spreading love and sincerity to future generations of humans.
