The mother of all storms is upon us. We are taken
\naback, our skirts blow up. We show our panties, bad girls
\nall of us, march off to school with our lunch boxes open.<\/p>\n

Do you want my apple? Do you want my pear? See all
\nthe fruit for the taking, piled high in a bowl, lacquered,
\nframed, left hanging from a wire, and screwed to the wall.<\/p>\n

What business do people have walking down my path?
\nSomeone walked up me and mine, took me out and laid
\nme on the sand. So this is love? Don\u2019t make me laugh.<\/p>\n

Do you want this apple, do you want this pear?
\nPlease don\u2019t teach your child to hate herself;
\nshe will learn that on her own, everywhere.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a narrow track between dunes and a mackerel
\nsky overhead. I ask you, what happens when you hold
\nyour body in contempt, and love your neighbor as yourself?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
