The way she put the poem seem to be a metaphor. It is broken into nine letters. There are nine lines, and ninesyllables in every line. Which there is nine months of pregnancy. Each line is a metaphor that represents the different stages of pregnancy. Like when she said “I've eaten a bag of green apples, (8) /Boarded the train there's no getting off (9).” The apples symbolize another biblical allusion, not only are green apples more sour but they symbolize Eve bringing suffering upon women with birth. So this poem is basically talked about how she felt during her pregnancy. The poem talk about her pain and suffer of bring life into this world.
