Jade

You're never a girl, that curses and blasts, in fact you twirl, face like a stone, when you’re harrassed, count to ten fead slow, don't bother with furs, or men who feel trapped, just rattle your pearls, listen to their stories, sigh at their collapse, life's not their own, your head in a whirl, a silken scarf for class, say a little prayer, cry on the doorpost, drink wine aghast, ask what they want most, the worm always turns, you cook with gas, your flags are unfurled, everything will pass.
