Repopulating the Planet
Posturning
Girls trying so hard
and boys pretending not to
try at all
No women or men
but children
posturing
pretending
trying on personalities like
a mother’s 4-inch heels or a father’s striped silk tie
molding themselves in play-doh
life size re-creations
of the people they want to be -
the people they think they are
