anecdote # 122 - G

when I was 10,
getting breasts
G asked if mom
had told me about
"down there".

(nuh-huh)

furtively
shoving my way
straps, buckles,
1"-thick pad,
told me I'd know when.

a holster
for my leg?
futile months
inspecting
for thigh-stigmata.

Didn't need that visual. But hey, don't let me censor you! (though I doubt I ever could).
