I've spent my life cultivating
a finely crafted collection of
men who knew me -
religiously -
and as I've bounced from
a God jock to
a rocker to
a classically trained guitarist to
a human golden retriever and
a narcissistic cynic
I've tried on each personality and
worn it for a while before I grew
dissatisfied with all the ways they
touched my skin. I peeled off each
and placed them on my
ever-crowding, under-dusted shelves.
One day I hope to
find one that fits me.
