Detach the baby from your front,
translate it into a subjective being
by pushing Baby instead of carrying Baby.
Except now Baby has multiple uses,
Mother can place shopping beneath Baby,
wind hairbands round Baby’s handle,
lean on Baby while mounting a displeasing incline.
And, a new feature, Mother can rock Baby single-handedly,
while pumping smoke into Mother’s virginal lungs,
Mother may even rest the apparatus of said act
upon Baby.
Baby won’t mind.
