get out of there

some babies
don't want to come out.
the nine months are up
but they refuse to budge.
they have to pull them out
kicking and screaming.
gasping for air,
squinting their eyes 
in the new light.
their bottom slapped
to bring them to life.
i understand completely
why they hung on so tight.
