Me

     I have been asked, politely
     and not so politely, why I
     am myself.
               Andrea Dworkin

And who could I be?
someone who wears clothes
that fit a woman of my age--
or clothes that strut their style
with accessories that set a tone
instead of jeans with weathered knees
And who could I be?
someone who reclines in certainty
knows her pew, recites the creed
never questioning rock solid beliefs
and who can sing the correct melody
And who could I be?
someone who isn't a chameleon
changing interests and passions
hoping to alight on the one
that promises a special light
