my gender is jaywalking in stilettos

on mobile? turn phone sideways!

and   i   don't   just   mean   because   i   have   so   much
familiarity  with  the  one   and   nearly  none  with  the
other  i  would  happily  cut  the  intersection  of  north
charles  and  penn  station diagonally at off-peak hours
but i would  break my  fucking ankle if you asked me to
do  it  in  heels  i  mean  the  last  time i wore a pair was
easily  five  years  ago maybe more and what i mean is i
don’t  think  i  know  how  to  be  a  woman  i only know
how to be  chaotic and  push my cleavage to the front i
only    know   imitation    and    the    failure   to   do   so
successfully  how  to  watch  for  traffic  and  run  away
when  i  see  it  coming   the   best   defense  is  a  good
offense  and  they  never  let  me  play  attack  in kiddie
lacrosse i just stood on the sidelines and let everything
take shape without me
