Unrecognizable Shapes by Danielle Ate the Sandwich

Before I was a baby
everybody tried to guess my name
meeting up with friends for coffee
every body spilling their ideas

There was a city in Syria
There was a song my father sang

Before I was a baby
everybody gathered at the scene
and put a hand up to her stomach
just to try and get a sense of who I’d be

There was a sentiment my grandma said
This one means an answered prayer
There was a long forgotten relative
There was a road where I began

[OUTER SPACE]

Before I was a baby
I was waiting lines in outer space
an idea that had crossed your mind began
as an unrecognizable shape

There was a childhood friend of mine
The song that played when he left earth
The kiss that happened on the ferris wheel
The way the woman sang for us, you could hear it, you could hear it, trust

[OUTER SPACE]

Before I was a baby
they put up decorations in my room
not even sure I would like them
but they did anyway so i would
have something to call my own
when my eyes began to open
have something to call my own
when my eyes began to open

**before I was a baby, I was an unrecognizable shape
cut from the mountains and the atoms of outer space**

[OUTER SPACE]

Before I was a baby
I was just a breath hanging in air
in the moment right before he
ran his fingers through her hair
