i don't know where i'm from. i wasn't born anywhere; i was here already before that business about the apple, that's why i'm apolitical. none the worse that i'm a woman, and will not give birth to martinets nor will my hands be soiled with the smell of guns, so much the better that i'm this way... -gloria fuertes
i am the binge you need midway through the year when your bonus your vacation your raise are still far off i am the discordant note that helps you bear the monotonous harmony you call your life i am the momentary folly that lets you endure the rest of the hour the praise so sure it dispels your doubts the container that holds your petulant "you just don't understands" your petty everyday frustrations your: the-coffee-is-cold who's-been-opening-my-mail? it's-the-gasbill-againi am the one who rouses the most unexpected depths of your skin the one who makes you say: you make me feel like a schoolboy againi am in short the woman you take to a hotel on a drunken night and forget to ask her name or whether some day you can see her again. -elena jordana
