Gently bouncing

We were playing a game
where I was pregnant
and she was the teenage sister

she put one of her dolls under my sweater
and tied it to my stomach
with a scarf

halfway through making dinner
she decided I also had a new baby
and put another doll
over my shoulder

I tried to explain gestation
but she just waved her hands at me
blurring my words

as she put band-aids on a stuffy
I stirred the pot of soup
and a long while passed
before I realized
I was gently bouncing.
