DARK PURPLE INTERSECTIONS next to a light purple baby skull

"Will she ever understand
that my doll brain works differently
than her doll brain and I want to escape
being handled by somebody else?

I don't want to have a string attached to my back
connected to someone else's hand,
so that someone else can choose what I do or do not
say by pulling that string."

commercial break--circulatory issues

I do not desire to hear about how the dark circles under my eyes are because my capillaries are leaking. Plus which, if that is the case, how does eye cream (or anything topical, for that matter) repair leaky capillaries? I'm going to go out on a limb and say it doesn't.

In sexier news, a new poem of mine will be appearing within the next week or so from 'Everyday Genuis'. Stay tuned.
