Well, if Gail is guessing the poet by name, I'll join in. My guess is Julie Stoner, though I don't recall her using this many slant rhymes before.
I'm not sure I'd say the poem is about the "darker side of twinship," as DG puts it, since presumably Ann's sonnet on the same gestation would have a completely different slant (assuming Ann doesn't entirely dispute the shadow she casts on her sister).
I still have no nits, but if I struggle to come up with a nit, no matter how nerdy, it's this: If the weaker heartbeat is "trailing" the stronger, we're dealing with a trochee, not an iamb. It's interesting to wonder how the poem would be affected if there were no prosodic references in the title (as there are none clearly stated in the body of the poem). I still think the title should stay, but I'm not sure it's utterly essential. Perhaps it's too much poet inside-baseball, and I'm wondering a bit if readers who don't know what an iamb is might be unduly confused.
But no. I think the poem is perfect as is.
