the new baby

the women
stop on the sidewalk
to lean over into
a shaded stroller
and say my oh my.
they squeeze
the feet and cheeks
of the new born baby
sounding like seagulls
at a fish fry.
it's what women do.
men on the other hand
wait for a new car
to appear on the block
then stroll over
to look under hood,
sit in the seats,
check out the front,
then the rear,
and then say my
oh my.
