Tall

by Megan Aries - Not entered

I am tall today. 5'11 seems like 7'5.
I stretch long and lazy like a cat and
think about how tomorrow will be just 
like today. I feel as though I am dis-
gracing womanhood today. No gloss graces
my lips, and no height comes from my heels.
Clad in jeans and no shoes I think about
all the things I have done to alienate
those around me. I want to tell you about
the knight in shining armor and the 
bartender on Bourbon Street, but I can't
be incriminated for something I can't
be sorry about. To make you cry would
make me sorry, but the act itself did
not, so thats why you will never know.
I'm beginning to think I should just let 
you go. Turn around, Sweet Boy, and walk
away from me. Don't look over your sholder.
And I won't either.

Reason for writing:

    I missed you guys!!!
