In the Big Mama © 2002 Lon Jones

once we were upside down big mama breathes so we don’t drown in the sea we slosh around when big mama walks in the big mama hidden from the light of day just a twist of DNA angel hands shape the clay while big mama waits in the big mama first we were a bunch of cells then like fish we grow gills then we get eyes and everything else big mama balloons in the big mama we jump and we kick and we squirm and we wiggle around we grow grow grow grow grow and we hear the sound as her great big heart goes...... all we need until we are able flows right in through our navels thanks to her umbilical cable big mama provides in the big mama
