we are victims
of our self-imagery
especially women
we like to flaunt
our strength
our composure
ruffled feathers
only in birds
tears a thing of
history
hysteria went out
of fashion
with Freud
this new super woman
all things
to all people
there is an ointment
called krack
to hide the crevices
in her feet
she wont let
anyone
develop
something for
the fissures
in her soul
to do that would mean admitting
vulnerability
and that is
an oxymoron with
this new age woman
