Future Woman

By Stranger

She will wear her bones on the outside
Like albino armor
To protect her from the obsidian tips
Of the words
That fly like arrows
Without warning
Out of the mouth of man

Her skin and breasts
Will secrete slippery oil
To protect her from the cling
Of a man's love

Her holes will have grown
Glistening white teeth
To protect her from
The appetites of man

Her heart will have crawled
Into her skull
To live within
The folds of her brain
To protect her
From herself

    interesting conceptual art/idea. What happens mentally can be described/imaged physically. What I got out of this was more or less 'You are what you eat' situation... I'm usually way off base but thats what makes poetry inticing to me. :::OLd
