"edge of a person less intimate"

Lauren Bender


edge of a person less intimate
a person who knows
acquiescing without protest
but sometimes takes to

                         her parents’ wishes
                         proficiency in math
                         AIDS

the act something grasping
free from duty
measurement
land in acres
caustic in language

skilled in

                         feats of agility
                         walk on tiptoe acrobatically
                         the moves of an acronym
                         a word
                         a name
                         AIDS
