I told her
it simply cannot be done
but what I meant to say was
it cannot be done simply
and for this mistake, I pay
she's not interested in alternatives
she wants the black and white choices
not the rainbow in between
she thinks so dichotomously
why?
I ask my reflection this question
every morning
usually in the short space of time
wedged between brushing my teeth
and shoving cotton swabs in my ear holes
why must I think this way?
