He stands
wider than anyone else on the stage.
Takes the
chosen time to regal us
with tired words of
women-hate.
Crazy hurled around like an
electric shock
keeping me in place.
He attacks their clothes,
looks to their bodies as signs of
own-ability and flirts
to get his way – in.

He Stands
Shopping in my Closet
lately i”ve been thinking a lot about clothing.
i”ve gone through many wardrobe changes in my life – i like to imagine them as different costumes for the different roles i”ve had to play. there were the first years – lacy, frilly, all matching, already refusing to eat – a nice, sweet little pollyanna. innocent, and sexualized. i was loved. then i got older, fatter, more interested in lots of colors and loud, clashing patterns. i like to call this my punky brewster phase – a personal fav. but, i was “ugly” (i.e. – no longer a doll) and so – unloved. this realization brought on the stlye-depressed, no-interest-in-clothes-or-appearance phase – unloved and now invisible. i soon realized i was never going to get anywhere being the “ugly” girl, stopped eating all-together and wore all belly shirts, synthetic bright orange and brown shirts that clung to my body and the perfume “charlie”s white” (after my father”s name). i wasn”t loved… but i was sexy again. high school brought on the all-american girl phase (otherwise known as i-want-to-be-like-andie-mcphee-from-“dawson”s creek” phase) – loved. in college it was 50″s style dresses with white sneakers (while i dreamed of pumps) – loved. JCrew perfection – loved. all-black-all-the-time depression (opposite of the pollyanna i started with) -unloved but sexy. and finally the pop-punk pierced eyebrow with dyed hair phase (the grown-up punky brewster!) -unloved, and sexy.

unwashed and sticky
