i've only censored one word in this [it's eerily similar to forks] and i hope that it won't be deemed inappropriate.  [[please please please]]

anyways, some may need to read deeper into it to get the full meaning, but i wish you all well with interpretation.

[[sexuality as a mask]]

Shuffling down the sidewalk,
hellbent on getting through the day -
       [only to trudge miserably
              through the next]
she shoves her hands
               deeper
                   into her pockets.

Suddenly it's not cool anymore.

They've all abandoned her
     [like yesterdays jeans
      and cheap lines of speed].

The supposed names of
             former word edited
still lingering
              in
                her
                   mind...

For them it was only a phase.

Sorry..the guidelines do not allow use of certain words. The one you used was one of them. Please try to come up with another word to use. Thanks!

Wow, word edited or not, this was amazing...I think I agree that it's open to interpretation, but isn't all good poetry?
I am truely impressed with this.

This poem is really cool!

And it gets better each read (not to mention each interpretation!)

Looking forward to reading more!

I hate to give a half-assed reply, but right now I don't have the time to get into it. I just wanted to say that I really loved this poem and I like that it was honest and very true. I got a lot out of this poem and I hope everyone else can too and perhaps even look into themselves and see how it applies to them (in some form or another). Thanks for posting this.
