mannequin

self, presented itself
as a dress she could not get over her head
a costume she could not try on
still trying
to unzip the zipper
untangle the mass of gold thread
and she's still
pulling
this gender, idea
swirling in the wash
baffled at the mixture
and the swiftly shifting
mannequin underneath.
