Past, Placenta, and Future

when i was just an irresponsible fetus

kicking away in mothers womb,
I heard words spoken and
didn't know what to make of them.
sounds of noise and vibrations
soft as a feather falling into 
a freshly-snowfallen meadow.
 a silence that reverberates 
the heartbeat that courses in a whoosh
the blood of life in the veins webbing through
the tissue-paper -thin pinkness of my skin. 
the formation of the first thought?
A meaningless synapse of neurons?
am I alive?
Why? 
What is the meaning of all this madness?
Fluidly viscous ethereal colloid bubble
My amniocent-thesis ?
 As i laugh and kick away
in the drunken bliss of innocence.
  - And here she thought she had gas.

ahahaha

the title pulled me in, I was like "Beavis would say how rabbits of you"

the poem followed suit :)

I love the way you arranged words in this one, just so impacting, brought me into the space of "what is it like to be a fetus again?"

Honored that you

read it, and always appreciate your valuable feedback.

Is certainly not any every day thought...just to go back  to that place we all came from.

 And we tend to forget...all the vast differences in people..race, religion....political affiliation....We all have this as the common denominator... every last human being on the planet.

It's true.

We never really think about what life is like inside another person. Reached out to a parent lately?

You gotta put it into

You gotta put it into perspective.

We were all born
