“Did Johnny look flashy?
Yes, his white-on-white shirt and tie were luminous.
His trousers were creased like knives to the tops of his shoes
And his yellow straw hat came down to his dark glasses.”

“...I want men
to take us seriously.
I am tired wanting them to think
about right and wrong.
I want them to fear.”
