Written on the bathroom wall

in Boulder,

we are all beautiful,

we are white, but perfectly tanned in summer,

our breasts do not sag and our necks are

long and elegant.

in Boulder, our bodies are lean and sculpted.

No one rides less than a century 

or runs less than a half marathon.

we are beautiful in Boulder and when

we look at one another, we do not see the

deepest need

that which is hidden,

unspoken.
