All work and no play makes Lauren a dull girl.
All work and no play makes Lauren
a machine with curls.
All work and no play makes felt a dull boy.
All work and no play makes
felt a mere toy.
The dull needle stabs;
A working girl feels -
She is felting pain.
You were soft to the touch.
I never believed you could be anything else.
I poked you gingerly at first, but you just wouldn’t listen.
You kept being disobedient… flailing your flimsy fibers about.
I poked you again. Then again, again, and again and again and…
then you poked back.
I felt it.
I felt the pain of coursing through my veins.
It consumed me.
… but only for a second.
I bled.
I remember that it hurt.
Stabbing her hurt.
Dull Girl, 2017
