a part of me wants public trial so they can see how tough i am.
they’ll say the same three things:

one will be about my body, including when i had the yellow
tooth, and my aging face and my boobs.
one will be about my attitude/my mouth;
the sharpness, the “bitter,” the response to them.
one will be about the men; as in,
somehow the men’s feelings are my fault.

my first response is always freeze.

 

then fight.

 

then fight.

then fight.

then fight.
