They sit in a big circle ten or twelve woman with babies in their arms

Nagging and crying babies and the women are tired and always eating

And fat but sucking it into tights and little black dresses

Oh your baby is so cute, oh my baby does this trick and my baby does that trick

All of them have bibs on their shoulders with yellow white vomit dripping from it

And one sticks her finger into it and says "oh your baby's tastes just like mine"

Another starts shaking her baby and slaps it on the back it throws up

And they start tasting with mmmmms and aaahhhs of approval and secret loathing

The fathers come in they are tired, one allowed beer in their bellies, always eating and fat but sucking it into chinos and gut poking out of diamond jerseys

They stand behind the mothers with a smile

And the women laugh and they smile

The women mock them and they smile

The women share their secrets and they smile

And those babies will smile just like that and love those women and wear those chinos and smile their way into the bed of an overweight brunette who doesn't believe in condoms and birth control

And regulates their drinking and bans their friends and gives them a gut

And works them to the bottle

And they will always die before these women

Who nurture their grandchildren into chinos and one beer and gut and a life well lived
