hear me roar

e.e. cummings
lets see how you like it!

you piss me off
ooh! i found return on the keyboard! ain't i profound?!

but i'll give you my half smile here:
"...meanwhile my

self etcetera lay quietly
in the deep mud et

cetera
(dreaming,
et
cetera, of
Your smile
eyes knees and of your Etcetera"

and your fragments befriend and reflect recent frailty

the answers aren't in the books
i know
but they are both
a funnel
and a fertilizer
for the trees along the road
to Manifest Destiny
(light on the destiny please, waiter)
at least her law of attraction
was amended for freedom of choice
(choice as a noun not a verb)

borders
with its lack thereof
tonight, though, less than usual
were its calming effects

lack of logic? abounding obscurity? its ok
because you won't
since you already did
buoyancy leaving me less than centered
detachment leaving me less than grounded
alas, i am a female after all.
