14/30: The Fluttering in My Chest
comes when I get out of the subway.
When all I’ve eaten was a Luna bar.
When I’ve been sitting far too long entering mailing addresses at the office desk.
WebMD is not who I should be consulting.
The sonogram told me my limbs are too long for a heart the size
of my fist; that my heart literally closes in on itself.
It is trying to take in all of the blood before it is ready to.
...
me: I can't believe there will never be a sex scene on this show!
Joy: Of course not. It's PBS. What did you expect? Penis BroadCasting?

13/30: On Fairy Tale
Girl wears red lips
stained with beets.
Boy hits rhythm thick like tar on forest floor
with stick.
Boy and sword.
Boy and stick.
Girl watches beet stain melt

looming, hulking trees. They surround the backyard like uniformed protectors of this small party of naive, brazen aristocrats.
You lean back in the white plastic lawn chair; the legs bend beneath it
and...
On fun-sized advice.

Dear Coquette,
What’s the difference between pride and dignity? Ego. How do you kill your ego without killing your self-confidence? Confidence doesn’t die with ego, only arrogance. Can I kill somebody’s ego for him? It’s getting in the way of efforts to maintain friendliness and decency between us. You can crush a man’s ego, but only he can kill it. How do I reason with...

11/30: Two-Year-Old Romance
-You have no idea-
she says
as she turns around on the spot between the curb and the crosswalk.
He stands there
behind her, his cell phone lit up against
the edge-of-Astoria greyness
in the hour-after-the-superbowl-ends quiet.
-Where are we going?-
she says
His response is an apology, his hand moves out
to catch the small of her back—the slender structure of her

mujerinterrumpida:
I am pro-life. Meaning, I believe in the sanctity of life, from the unborn to the dying. War and excessive violence in all forms makes me extremely upset. This belief is very much influenced not only by my own heart but also by my Catholic upbringing. I no longer identify as Catholic and am aware that my morals stem from that religious system. I am also pro-choice. Meaning, I...
