Exactly how steamy is this poem?
G
This poem is so G-rated, our six-year-old kid brother could read it. There isn't anything in the poem that we'd need to censor. Sex is there, but it's there in a very vague way. It's hinted at in the speaker's discussion of herself and her family. She arrived in the U.S. as a "pink baby" (17). Pink babies, of course, don't come out of nowhere. They're the product of lots of hanky-panky between mom and dad. All the same, babies are perfectly safe for a general audience.
