What Does This Shape Look Like?
by
Dina Dinsmoor
They say i came out of a box
HA!
I say it has been better carrying
all of myself along in a shell
then to have let others sift me away again and again
until i was as bland as they
sneering syllables caught from each other
like colds
learning how to treat others like ameobas
