the nature of the least

i'm more prim and proper than you probably predicted i would be.
some maintain the stance that such attitudes equal a legalistic personality and mindset.
i am not one of the some. i am one of the sum. unfortunately i do not add up just yet. i am missing several brothers necessary. 2 and 2 is four. i am dreadfully inconsistent. my teeth are not yet in line so you can forget about zipping up. i can't be keeping anyone warm. i myself am accustomed to the cold. being used to a thing and liking it are two very different things.
if i could pick anyone to be near, it would be you.

solicit solitude or soften

you said you're not the kind of person novels are written about.

i cut down trees.
i hang up phones.
i live for the over and hate the happenings.
it isn't you, it's the millions of others.
a face in the crowd is still a face i'd rather never see.

structural

i am a shattered mirror, reflecting the slightest glimmer in all directions. i do not light up a room, i simply remind you of your own luminescence. when it's all said and done, i am broken glass and nickel.

somewhere inside the empty shell of my humanity lies a creature born in newness and light. i will be a woman after Your own heart.
