The Development and Birth of an Unwanted Thought

If I had a contraceptive

To protect against

Unborn ideas in my mind,

Or some abortive option

For the third-term thoughts

And feelings

Fertilized by your words,

Those are pills I would add

To my daily regimen.

But short of lobotomy

Or cardio-biopsy,

Unfortunately no options

Remain, and I

Am forced to nurture

To full gestation, then tear

And bleed to deliver

This bitter brainchild.
