I had only known it for an hour.

As I sat in the doctor’s chair I wondered how long my body knew it. How did my organs, blood, and hips interact with it? Did parts of my body open up to it to make room? Was it comfortable? And why didn’t my body tell me? I, too, wanted to know the person inside of me.
