Boobs by Rose Firestone

This is from a book my dear friend gave me it is called "keeping abreast" by Rose Firstone and I highly recomend this book it is full of fabulous poetry through the journey of breast cancer.  My girls and I loved this poem!

Boobs

breasts...boobs

tits...titties

hanging on chest

like flags

in the cities

knockers...jugs

manetas...maracas

shake like tambourines

in the gyms

and the lockers

squeeze 'em...hold 'em

touch the fruit

more than a mouth full 

is totally moot

bouncy...perky

jiggley

and firm

all of these adjectives 

just confirm

that

stacks and racks

are where its at

but how do you feel if you're totally flat

how do you handle 

the lack of equipment

how do you feel 

when they're gone

how do you feel

when you look in the mirror

and all of those names

don't belong

think of it this way

think it like that

no need for a tit-sling

or a titty hat

be thankful dear lady

be happy and clear

think of the promise 

of another year
