“What is more teen girl than not being loved, but wanting it so badly that you accept the smallest crumb and call yourself full?”

“Men always want to come inside you so that if they give you a sickness or a baby, you are bound to them forever. People will tell you men don’t like commitment and the first rule is that you shouldn’t believe them. Remember, sickness or a baby. Neither of which they’ll take care of.”

“If you have a son, how will you love him?
She is pacing the living room,
while the Thanksgiving Day Parade
plays behind her, a montage of inflated
cartoon bodies, floating slow
down 6th Avenue, smiles
painted onto their faces.
I consider not responding.
I consider explaining that I can love him and not trust him. I consider saying that I won’t
love him at all. Just to scare her. Instead, I say,
If I am ever murdered, like,
body found in a ditch, mouth
stuffed with dirt, stocking
around my neck, identified
by my toenails, please don’t go
looking for a guilty woman.
("My Grandmother Asks Why I Don't Trust Men")”

“I want to write a poem for the women on Long Island
who, when I show them the knife I carry in my purse,
tell me it’s not big enough,
("Ode to the Women On Long Island")”
