S.A.


I am sitting here. I am listening to TLC in this place I am listening to feminists Discuss web outlines. They are discussing women. I fill out Scholarship Applications. And cringe. Stomach tightening and twisting. Legs crossing Squeezing Strangling Legs uncrossing. Almost grinding My teeth. I check female. On a Scholarship Application. I am flexed In flux. Body in vexation. Scholarship Application. Tightness in my chest. Dry eyes. I am staring At this Scholarship Application. Scholarship Application. Thinks my identity is important. It wants to identify me. Scholarship Application Says I can be Streamlined.
