picking yourself apart."

picking yourself apart."

"your past
should not be a map
to your future,
merely
a guide."

Greater than

who taught you
that the
value of a woman
is the ratio
of her waist
to her hips
and the circumference
of her buttocks
and the volume
of her lips?
Your math

is
nothing less
than
infinite.
