Einstein

might have said I was born

because my parents couldn't resist the pheromones

Charles Bukowski

might have claimed a wild party

The Wiccans

might have said it was just a tidal pull

The father confessor

might have said it was so I could get to know God

The romance writers

might have claimed it was my parents' Kismet

Chinese astrologers

might have said the Dragon called me forth

George Orwell

might have said it was a 'Big Brother' plot

Edna St. Vincent Millay

might have said it was so love could 'find me out'

I think more probably

it was because my father thought with the little head

and my mother might have jumped off a roof for him

Maybe Carl Sagan would have called it the 'Little Bang'.
