Abstract
Balancing the white plastic stick carefully on top of the toilet tank, I leave the bathroom. I feel a little crazy for wanting to take it with me for proof, good luck or an early demonstration of maternal dedication, and ia little crazy for not just throwing it away. I walk slowly down the wood-p~led hall toward the living room. What should I do? I look around for a minute to memorize the look of this rattletrap living room, the 70s beige carpet, the riqkety wooden coffee table, painted white like just about every other piece of fumitiure on Cape Cod, the couch where I lay with my heels up against the wall, for an hour, reaching out to the gods, willing them to dispense new life into my life, out at the cape window whose blinds I lowered for privacy those three days I inseminated here, all alone.
