Nintendo
How to be confident/how to soften:
Imagine every man you know
As a child playing Nintendo
Last night my son talked to me about the birds
Picking at his heart
What he said was a big problem was actually a small problem
But he opened his mouth
And showed it was
Sky-sized
Past bedtime
The Christmas tree
A rainbow of lights
Boys are small new men
But women are scorched and petrified girls so much
Chrysalis in my skin
Jung says the female soul
Is masculine and the male soul is conceptualized
As a woman
I am someone else the way Athena
Was someone else
I power-up, I am
A tooth, and am Tarzan
