the women came in and out the room,
sharing and shaking,
with varying hair or lip shapes,
and one, with dark hair, cried
five times a day, and would
question the lack of sacrificial
love in the world, or why marriage
had become a business contract between
drones or
why animals are held prisoner
in the zoo, their zebra stripes
a backdrop for ice cream casualties
and also babies are held prisoner
in 500 dollar strollers and nails
are held prisoner under
synthetic nail color
