she read something somewhere
in whatwhere she couldnt recall it
was something aboutthis she remembered brick
and mortar she would brick and mortar is substantial a
commitment itd take more than voices or
fists to knock down didnt the three little
pigs teach her that the big bad wolf
could blow as hard as he wanted but brick and mortar withstood since hearing the story as a girl she always
wondered what wolf would taste like
but even if wolf didnt
taste good shed eat it eat it as leftovers eat it until it was gone every bite reminding her she bettered the
wolfreminding her it wanted to gobble hersplit and suck her bones empty splintered unrecognisable as if she never existed
what was it she read
it impressed her
if she thought hard about it
itd return
she thought
brick and mortar
stall NO a locked brick and mortar stall
the only place remaining to
harbor and secure privacy
precious privacy
all around her people left their privacy like
they left pennies on retail counters or pennies on the ground too lazy not worth enough to bend to
pick up as if privacy was cheap disposable
somethings wrong with her if everyone doesnt know her businesshave an
option about it and shared she ought to seriously weigh their opinions about
what she should do or putting out to strangers This is my circumstanceWhat should I do polling perfect strangers
the winningest opinion or suggestion she
should follow
maybe she shouldnt say precious
privacy though to her privacy was preciouswas to hold tight tight
to her breast protect nurture it was hers her privacy defined her
no PRECIOUS PRIVACY
she was rightno one was going to move her
yes that was it
hypergalled was
that a word hypergalled her privacy had been
reduced to the locked brick-and-mortar stall
a public bathroom in a liquorstore
ClearBlue out of the clear blue
she could imagine reasons tenfold why
a woman would take a pregnancy test locked away inside a liquorstore
lavatory and none of the womans reasons
were open to debate or disdain not a one it was no ones business
it
is a parcel of her privacy
hers
hers
she doesnt have to share
not with anyone
