Crystal

I should really be reviewing for my essay test on the gender deviations in works by Tennyson, Charlotte and Emily Bronte...however...literature evades me at this moment (this may be due to a lack of sleep, an overzealous imagination, the song 'predatory wasp of the palisades' by Sufjan Stevens thats playing at this moment, the fact I am in the library surrounded by the latterest of latters, my body's tired and overworked state, the emotional release I have had these last few nights from choreographing, directing, and teaching a stage production...etcetera....etcetera).

Oh-baby-doll.
You pretty little
Fragile little
Delicate-
Little-
Girl.
You look so sad there.
Your eyes speak.
You cannot.
Speak-
voiceless,
tame,
trapped.
Girl.
Everyone knows-
Everyone sees-
Everyone.
You're so breakable,
one glance and you
Shatter.
like glass.
