With

If you said
you would give me support,
a share of your income,
a car,
a house with
a medium-sized garden;

If you said you would
get cable TV,
a swing set,
a lawnmower,
dining chairs,
a new double bed to make love in;

If you
said you would buy a red kettle,
white-lantern light fittings,
vanilla candles,
shoe polish,
pictures frames,

a cradle and tiny socks,

I would say "look,
look at this and, lifting my sweater,
would put your hand on my ripe abdomen,
smiling.
