Backbone MAG
February 17, 2009
we fight like cats, backs arching
hissing, spitting.
you say, “grow a backbone”
oh, but that’s just what you need.
a backbone.
maybe you could face yourself.
a backbone, to keep you from
twisting all the way around
so the lies don’t slap your face
into blazen chagrin.
a backbone
so you don’t have to be
just like the ones who brought you here.
a backbone.

I WISH I DIDN'T HAVE A BACKBONE
SO I COULD TWIST ALL THE
WAY AROUND.
