i was pregnant and would be due any time now–it seemed like i was with co-workers–it seemed like we were preparing for a trip–i started to panic and complain of aches and was told to bend forward–palms on the ground and ass in the air–the person giving directions stood in front of me, telling me to breathe and telling the person in football player stance behind me to be prepared to catch the baby–they asked me to tell them when i felt it coming–i strained and wailed–they thought they saw the head crowning, but the baby was sucked back up and we stopped trying–i said that i was afraid of the impending pain–we were told to be aware and ready–i was folding laundry and worried that my water would break when i was in an exam room with a patient–i realised that that was why i hadn’t given birth yet–lack of amniotic fluid–i strained again and realised i had to defecate–someone walked past and looked at me suspiciously–i tried to hold it, but a small piece dropped–they didn’t seem to notice–i picked it up quickly along with another piece of stool that wasn’t mine, but was also there–they walked past again, still suspicious–i debated on how to discard the evidence and went to flush it down the toilet despite the paper towel
my alarm went off so that i would get up and watch the super blue blood moon eclipse
