Wonder why


(draft!)

I wonder why beginnings seem trouble free
The good old days, the way things used to be
with blinded eyes on a high hindsighted spree

I wonder why
I wonder why

Our first six weeks in the womb, in our mother
All female, all the same, the same cover
till half of us, hormoned, become other

I wonder why
I wonder why

All out of Africa, black. Fated.
Some drifted north, mutated,
followed the ice, turned white, faded

I wonder why
I wonder why
