On the court
she is a calculator
Texas Instruments tattooed on her shoulder
On the court
she is a fire chief
Barking orders like a high strung dalmatian
On the court
she is Agent J
Picking physics-loving Tiffany out from the monster crew
But here
she is waist-deep
in the muck of academia
slogging ever more slowly
through the murk
toward the crisp vellum
of someone else's
wanting to know
through the mire
toward the cubicle prison
of taking orders
from bosses or
for burgers
On the court
she is a calculator
Texas Instruments tattooed on her shoulder
In her mind
she climbs the walls
of the slime-sided well
On her terms
she lifts her face to a sunlight
that is hers alone.
