A Good Little Girls Zine

Do Not Disturb

thirty on paper
in truth, it's twenty 

it's all I have
yours, ours, mine

1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th
and then--
twenty 
to eat, rest, talk--
reset

right in the middle 
community

for twenty
I get to be me
the whole me
the part that curses
and laughs boistrously

connections

twenty a day
it's all I have, 
we have

for 10 months
twenty: perfection

Do not disturb
it's our twenty!
