A Good Little Girls Zine

Easy, I yell,
easy, easy, easy
it echoes back as if I were standing in a cave.

I am not
I am in the courtyard
sun above
crippled into stillness

EeeeeeAaaaaaSsssssYyyyyy,
I yell,
like I am at one end of a tunnel and
my guide is yelling to me from the other.

I am not
I am in the courtyard
sun above
crippled into stillness

I should propel forward
I could step my toe into the tiny pond in front of me
crippled into stillness
I stare
easy echoing in my mind.
