I wear control like a silk black dress
Jaguars envy my
prowess
Power my only husband
boys too busy bending
my way like stems of pretty flowers
to the sun
My favorite days run on no sleep
quads of green
poetry how I work hard for my success
how my joints b u r n smoother
than the mens' how they expect me to stand impressed by them
But I wear control like
silken ripples of a black minidress
and it fits me
so well
My areas of expertise
straight A's, slowing my heart beat
as it sneaks back over the fence through the window to my room
at 5 in the morning
every morning
of high school,
sunrise waking, seduction, success,
feline rationality and keeping my
masculine
hunger
to myself
falling in (and out) of love
forgiveness and
knowing when to grab my skateboard
green hop the bus
just me and my earth
shattering
self
trust.
