Peter Blegvad, from “The Unborn Byron”:
Spread the word, tomorrow morn
A future poet shall be born.
From my mother I shall fall
Into the womb that holds us all.
My life shall be a meteor
Which generations shall adore.
For my unbuttoned liberty
The unborn will remember me.
Mr Key, from “The Tiny Newborn Mr Key”:
1959, this very morn
The tiny Mr Key was born
He was a full month premature
When he knocked his fist upon the door
Of the world beyond his mother's womb
A tiny bright spark in the gloom
And soon the words poured out of him
They pour out still, with ceaseless vim.
