I am a selfmade machine. I respond to notice and attention. Wires tampered I say the strangest things. Proclaiming my love to everyman I've ever met and then hiding as soon as they retort. I often wonder if I just do what I think I am supposed to do. Perhaps the world has told me as a woman, to be constantly yearning; never satisfied. I ponder it over each day and night, I churn it into bites and swallow. I find desperation. Mere affectionate action, making my stomach bleed. Though as they waltz away, I thirst for their hand to cup my shoulder blade hand to their shoulder seam. What is a girl supposed to do. Love pushes itself against me and I find myself ungracefully turning it away.
