(8) Breakthrough
The poetry
doesn't have to
"make sense,"
but it must
make senses.
(9) Q&A
he said he loved her
because she smiled like a question mark
she did
well
all of us were taught
to gently bend our every curve like that
for boys with exclamation points for eyes
to answer
we were taught to be provocative,
warned that they could stand alone forever
if we didn't find a way to draw them after us,
because they would all age into
confirmed old bachelors
grand and purposed statements
while we would slowly wilt until we turned into old maids
left alone to wonder
whether our sex was just rhetorical
or simply
completely
unnoticed.
