You say she must resist
the powers that be and prove
that she is not blind. You want
her to sit when the judge comes
or say no to the officer without
warrant.
That is fine for action heroes
who are made of plastic but
she is blood, bone, and tissue.
she is hysterical and fearful looking
for hope without deferment or death
Tomatoes are poisonous to sheep
