VAGUE CONCEPT F.J . Bergmann At the moment of our darling child's conception, the lush scent of peonies hung in the steamy air that slithered breathless through the window, barely stirring the pink gingham curtains, limp with the sultry heat. Four houses away a Labrador-poodle cross named Wookie was crying for the uncooperative moon. Actually, I haven't the foggiest notion, except chat it was apparently sometime in June. The O b/Gyn said he wished we kept better records because it was important for tracking the gestation of the fetus, and I said people who can remember the date aren't having sex often enough and people who notice the details aren't having sex exciting enough and at least I have a pretty good idea of who is the daddy. 16 1Bergmann: Vague ConceptPublished by The Open Repository @ Binghamton (The ORB), 2010
