Pregno, Bro

I dyed my hair to
look like this girl I know
and my family says
'black hair black hair black hair'
'big and black'
I say
what you think there is a raven sitting up there

I shop for beer with my cousin
he says snow and beer
snow
beer

My other cousin is pregnant with her fourth child and I say
come here, baby
come here, baby
come here, baby
the babies like me but they won't go near my brother
I hold them and my cousin says
good with children
good
children

my aunt asks when everyone is having children
now
everyone have children
add your babies to this house that has at least fifteen warm
breathing people in at any time

I say first let me travel the world
the raven on my head will fly me away
