The New Life Form (A Poem)

I hope that the new life form
     is a product of your sperm
I hope that the baby mama
     can carry it to term

I hope that when it's born
     it brings tears to your eyes
I hope that the baby mama 
     doesn't tolerate your lies

I hope that when you leave her 
     it's with an explanation
That you don't let the silence
     act as an exclamation.
