He said
"We mesh well."
And I sat quietly
saying nothing.
He said
"I want a young girl
with an old soul."
And I said nothing.
Men
like me better
when I neither confirm
nor deny.
When
they can make me
what they want
in their own minds.
I am
a blank slate.
I am
an empty mold to fill.
Hot and cold
they chase my silence
with all the words
they wish I'd say.
And I sit quietly.
Saying nothing.
