I Am a Little Different

never did what normal girls did

carefully i smoked the sensed truths

with unskilled waiting shoes i smoked

silently choreographing flamencos

exotically tapping beneath beds

two inched hems heaving my childish grace

bullying my dresses made of lace

not knowing the woman i would be

with flaws it freckled me

small brown occasions monopolizing my skin

where my music lives blowing on light

and where my real hymn horns

relying on my shoulders to co-host

for this instrument is an extension of my tongue

immediately and persistently attaching me to this fate
