So. she leans in, 
.
Tucks her elbows 
.
And drops the angle of her chin, 
.
.
And says to me:
.
.
"Write me something, then."
.
.
And I tell her that
.
I haven't written for many women, 
.
But I have, for enough,
.
To at least know, by now:
.
.
'You don't get to have the paper"
.
"If you only see the pen"
.
"And you can't leave here with the table"
.
"If, to begin with,"
.
.
"All you wanted was the print."
.
