lilac
horn-rimmed 
glasses

head in 
hand fingers tipped 
in electric green inverted 
90 degrees entirely 
double-jointed

textbook, table
map of the brain 
laid flat

she fingers her 
glasses up her 
bridge toward 
eyebrow-level 
bangs

cheeks
lean deeper 
into psychology

horn-rims slip 
toward gravity caught 
by the tip of her nose

she fingers her 
glasses toward 
eyebrow bangs

lean, slip, tip, finger
rinse, repeat
