I was never a woman
I was a child puppeteering
a woman's body
piloting what should and shouldn't be
a woman.
Behind my eyes,
younger me shoves another handful of chips into her mouth.
She yells like shes watching the superbowl,
" I dont know?! Thats what it says in the manual. Just do it."
Sex a broken pipe
and I-
with my plastic wrenches
and Bob the builder's tool box
think I can fix it.
