WAVERING What makes you think you're so different? That was my weaker self hanging around outside the door. The voices over the telephone were accusing, too. "Must you always be you?" (They had the advantage, More bold without faces. They swirled a few ice cubes With a suggestive pause.) For a moment I took my heart out and held it in my hands. Then I put it back. This is how it is in a competitive world. But, I will not eat my own heart. I will not. (Ruth Stone)
