You need to be subtle

if you want a pregnant woman

not to look like a beached whale

in your pictures.

if you’re not,

please refrain.

It might not entirely be your fault:

maybe that pregnant woman

does feel like a happy beached whale

and her display of total surrender to

a masculine society

the sacrifice of her body on the altar of

the Male American Dream

is indeed a truth you captured

on your Canon 5D.

In that case

congratulations!!!

you’re an Artist!!!

and someone will buy your prints for 10 grand

instead of watching your slideshow on facebook.
