Goldilocks

Shilpa Kamat | 137 words

Confused, are you

the inkling shoestring type

who always gets away

You must remind me:

who am I to you if

you do not bite?

I’m not a little girl anymore

I’m looking for a confrontation–

me in my stacked up curls, eying

the sign that says keep out–

placing anyway the spoon inside

my mouth–

Once I find you just right, I

will remain addicted.

My mother warned me but

listening is never the same

as agreeing–

my entitlement repulses you,

you say, but I know:

you like me anyway

I like brown bears with

greedy mouths

I like the consequences

of dissolving into the innards

of a brand new house

that is already occupied.
