On nights alone, did you hear cries? Did you hover above an empty bed? Did you drink highballs? How many? Did you sleep on hard benches? Sleep at all? Did you wish unwishable wishes? Did you punish yourselves? If so, hard? Did you take turns? Did one take more than the other? Did you fake it, it and everything else? Did you cook or eat out? Did you think one might die before the other was born? Did you take the train or pay for parking? Did you miss work? What did your parents say? What did your brother and sister say? Who was the quietest? Who blamed who? Who protected who? Who stood in for who? Who got who pregnant?
