Manic
The other day, I told my best friend
my body was so tired and yet so wired that I was manic.
She said, “Your body is an injustice storage battery
and everyone else gets to use the reserved power.”
Medusa
Do you know Medusa’s story?
Poseidon raped her.
Athena punished her by turning her into a monster.
She, a victim, was blamed
and then
in her rage,
turned men
to stone.
I think about her a lot.
