Something Harder Than Words
by Aaron BlairI don't wear black. I'm the
sort of pale, Irish girl for whom
pastels were invented, the
better to be a simpering
cotton-candy vision of what
female is supposed to be.
I'll cop to that, the urge to
wrap myself in pretty, do
my best Molly Ringwald.
I won't be pegged, though.
If you're going to thrust
anything into me, make it
something harder than words. 06/27/2004 Author's Note: Response to a synopsis of my personality. Of sorts.

| Posted by A. Paige White on 01/22/07 at 02:59 AM ha! "something harder than words". Now that is sheer poetry (pastels indeed!) You shifted gears and left pastel pettiness in the dust. Looks good on ya. |
