Afraid is synonymous with Woman

get bored? my father asks as he slides into the driver’s seat

I shake my head 

choosing to omit the question I’d asked myself: can fear and boredom coincide?

he doesn't need to know about the three men�"sorry, wolves�"who passed and stared

with wagging tongues

wanting to rip me apart

I am only soft, obtainable flesh for any man to lick and claim as his own

a valley: a flower 

and I refused eye contact with these men, pretended I was busy

I can't help but wonder if men ever really know fear
