First-Born

I’m the first-born.

The first to cut teeth,
the first to have the measles,
mumps and chicken pox.
But, not the first to be with child,
successfully, and now at fifty will never be.

It might have been a burden, or become a
scientist, politician, or a dreamer.

Do you ever imagine the first-born of your first-born?
