I knew it was Kate
Though she turned sideway
And quickly hid her body
Behind the shower curtain
Like an ostrich ashamed of her feathers
Her silhouette against a canvas of steam
And cheap rosy plastic
(I’m positive you saw me too
Which is fine
As long as we dont have to talk about this
In tomorrow’s class)
Maybe there is something to defenseless
That won’t be said
Like when went together
To get our nails done
And she chose a nude pink color
And I chose red
Because red was cheaper
I just love nudes, she said
And I think that was so Kate’s
To love what is open and does not heal.
