What do you think of Updike’s poem “Birthday Shopping”?

Just think – three quarters of a century!
Born under Hoover, the year my father
lost his job and Grandpa took us in;
and then a stripling, willingly to school
with Roosevelt at the helm, term after term;
and next, in Truman’s time, a college boy,
in loden coat, rep tie, and tennis shoes,
my lean head stuffed with memorized word-gems.
4-F and married and a father, I
cast a Manhattan vote for Stevenson
but prospered under Ike, and left New York,
the seat of all my editorial hopes,
for Massachusetts where John Kennedy
was senator, and bourgeois life obtained.
*
Today, in Tucson, Mrs. U. and I
drove through the downtown grid, where cowboys in
white pickup trucks turn left against the light,
to Best Buy’s big box, to buy a backup laptop.
Strange world! The geeks in matching shirts
talked gigabytes to girls with blue tattoos
and nostril-studs, and guys with ropey arms
packed pixel-rich-home-entertainment screens.
Hi-def is here. Attempting to prepare
our obsolescing heads for crashing waves
of new technology, we cruised an aisle
of duplicated, twitching imagery
and came upon, as if upon an elf
asleep on forest moss, a Chinese child.
*
It was a girl, aged two or three, in bangs
and plastic bow and tiny shiny dress
and round-toed Velcroed shoes, supine
upon a cardboard carton, inches from
a coruscating hi-def plasma screen,
her face as close and rapt as at an udder,
motionlessly drinking something in,
an underwater scene of garish fish.
An older sister gazed her fill nearby.
At last we spotted their adoptive ma
haggling fine points several clerks away.
Exquisite in her peace, the alien child
had found a parent, bright and slightly warm,
while I, a birthday boy, was feeling lost.
*
In Pomeroy’s Department store, I lost
my mother’s hand three score and more than ten
long years ago. So panicky I wet
my pants a drop or two, I felt space widen;
when someone not my mother, took my hand,
I burbled, unable to cough up who
I was unforeseeably alone
amid these aisles of goods, so unlike home.
Not so this transfixed little pixie here
among the pixels, stiller than if asleep.
Electromagnetism held her fast,
secure within the infotainment web,
that sticky and spontaneous conflux
of self-advertisement and spam and porn.
*
Well. even Roosevelt’s sunk Depression world -
Atlantis at the bottom of a life,
descried through sliding thicknesses of time -
had radio and cinema to love,
and love we did, on fire to make the new
our own, to wield against our elders, dull
with all the useless stuff they’d had to learn
when they had been susceptible and young.
Signals beyond their ken conveyed our sparks -
Jack Benny’s stately pauses, Errol Flynn’s
half-smile, the songs we learned to smoke to, ads
in magazines called slicks, the comic strips,
realer than real, a Paradise that if
we held our breaths, we could ascend to, free.
*
Culture beguiles us in the beginning,
but Nature gets us in the end. My skin,
I notice now that I am seventy-five,
hangs loose in ripples like those dunes on Mars
that tell us life may have existed there -
monocelluar slime in stagnant pools.
After a Tucson move, some man in
the men’s room mirror lunged towards me
with wild small eyes, white hair – and wattled neck -
who could he be, so hostile and so weird,
so due for disposal, like a popcorn bag
vile with its inner film of stale used grease?
Where was the freckled boy who use to peek
into the front-hall mirror, off to school?
*
Its cracked brown frame and coat of mercury
going thin behind the glass embodied time,
as did the fraying rugs, the kitchen chairs,
the four adults that shared the house with me.
In Pennsylvania, then, the past settled in
to be the present. Nothing greatly changed:
milk came to the door, and mail through the slot,
coal down the loud chute, and ice in crazed cakes
on the iceman’s leathern back. My grandparents
moved through the rooms in a fog of dailiness,
younger then than I am now, and my parents,
not forty – can it be? — expressed their youth
by quarrelling. Our old clock ticked, and dust,
God’s pixels, danced in the windowlight forever.
Do you think these are early signs of pregnancy?

I know people always ask if we think they could be pregnant, and the easy answer is to take a pregnancy test. But I’m not late yet. But I was wondering if you think these may be pregnancy symptoms. I have been super tired all week. To the point that I have fell asleep twice while sitting on the laptop at like 6pm. Also, my belly feels really bloated and I’ve been getting headaches everyday, and I never get headaches. Also, (may be TMI) but, I have some thin brownish discharge for about two days shortly after have sex. I’m not due to start my period till the first week of July. Idk, what do you think?
I know nobody really knows. I was thinking maybe some one has been there before or had experienced the same symptoms.
What do think of this little story?

The coffee shop was buzzing, people milled around the counter, waiting for their coffees. Journalist and Novelist tapped away at their laptops; reading glasses, preached on their long, thin artistic noses, like a bird on a branch. A woman, wearing a deep pink cashmere sweater that I admired, flicked through a fashion magazine. Two European looking tourists, babbled to each other in a foriegn language, as they condempalited over a map. A group of teenaged girls sat at another table, giggling. I reckonized them as a group of students from my school. Contessa Samberg, Charlotte Martinez and Lorenna Reed. Contessa’s father was an oil tycoon. Charlotte’s Mother was a CEO for a cellphone company and Contessa’s Dad invented some safety system in a car, all big money. They were the ‘Queen B’s’ of Stanton College. Contessa looked at me, wished something to Lorenna and laughed. Her cold, dirty snare, sent shivers down my spine, like someone walked over my grave. The feeling left me wanting a shower. I sighed, grapped a couple of cruppled notes out of my wallet and left them on the plate where my delious peice of chocolate cake sat. I stuffed my laptop into my bag and went to leave. I mustered up all the courage I could pose and stormed past Contessa, Charlotte and Lorenna’s table. I could hear their laughs fade as I walked out into the rainy sidewalk. My favourite Balent Flats became wet as I stormed through a puddle. I headed towards my house, only a quick 5 minute walk. As I walked past a loney group of shops, I heard three sets of slooshy footsteps behind me. I stopped and listened. They stopped too. I slowly spun on my heel. Only to see Contessa swing at me. I fell. Hard. My head hit the pavement with a crunch. The last thing I felt was their kicks to my stomuch and head and thats when everything went black for Luri Montag….
