// Swimming // You don't need a mirror to hate yo

// Swimming //

You don't need a mirror to hate yourself,
curled tonenails are telltale signs of a girl 
who fakes her period. 
.
.
Things are in control — temperature, chlorine
except that sliding doors always lets slide
words — oxen, whale. 
.
.
We can never hide from our bodies. 
We displace 
all the water of the pool,
we fake our periods
so that we don't always find ourselves begging to be tolerated. 
.
.
You don't need a tailor's tape to hate yourself,
clingy bodysuits and dwindling orders
are telltale signs of girls wishing to be unseen. 
.
.
If all girls like me throw a pool party,
all the displaced water will be compensated
by our salty crying. Girls like me —
fringe bodies,
detachable parts of a big toy machine,
decorate big pools but never dip a foot.
