these exhausted elastic bands, these frayed edges, 
the times i flexed my arms and stretched them 
until the seams were pulled taut and popped 
so that my shirt could fit my shoulders, 
scissors biting through polyester, 
my fist gathering nylon just for a little give, 
are all testaments to the fact 
that i will fight for the space i deserve.
