you throw things at the wall
to see what sticks
hurl them with precision and watch
as each clatters to the floor
blink behind glasses like
in chemistry class

over and over
as i stand aside and say, not me -
words that slide over brick to sit
congealed you toss your two cents
that splatter like a slap in the face

and now i can fit into the box
that you call woman
