Replying to a comment on:

A Thing I Must Do (Free verse) by Dovina

Shoes and socks removed and carried I walked across the infield grass. At second base, I folded clothes and set them on the plate. Up somewhere in the darkness of bleachers in the night he sat watching me in moonlight silent in his jeans. A person hides in cotton and needs to open up reveal herself to the universe all secrets told and known. Turn on the lights and listen now This is me and who I am I stand for me, just me I refuse to cringe and run.

If I say you are full of canal water, you will no doubt point to a study where men and women were asked certain defining questions. If an answer does not fit within the outlined limits of the study, the questionee must be asked again and told to slightly change his or her answer so that it fits the acceptable limits of our previously specified answer categories. If he or she does not change the answer, we must as good citizens of the world be tolerant, and kindly excuse him or her from our study. This is properly called the scientific method and gives rise to conclusions like men are more spatially aware.
