Family Planning
by
Stephen Cree
They stood on the bridge
over the River K Y
at its estuary
to the Ovulant Sea
both sychronised watches
and studied charts
to concude that
on Thursday at three
her tides would be in
most generous flow
and his loveboat could
sail to Virility
with anchor dropped
seamen would swim
in the deep warm
Bay of Fertlity.
Back on the bridge
he found it hard
to confess that he
had been vasectomised.
