This is not a poem. This is a river.
This is not my life, but a fraction of it.
There are things to come. I am not a believer,
I am a fucking knower.
I am not a tech support girl. I'm an artist.
I did not spend a week on Crete. Crete, I conquered.
I am not taking sides in politics. I am myself a party.
I let every good thing go, which is different from 'I blow it'.
I am no one's daughter and nobody's wife, but my own.
I have proved Fermat's theorem, but didn't quite want it known.
I am so distinct that it's crazy, I'm so extinct it pains.
I am one of those little worn-out clichés.
