Description
I climb treesplay basketball and hurt people with sharp elbows.
play ultimate Frisbee and get dirty.
rip my pants and get burrs in my hair
I do it all with a big smile on my face.
I used to wear dresses.
I stopped.
I didn’t wear a dress again until high school, prom.
I came to college as far away from home as I could
to become a corporate, successful, independent girl.
Because goodness knows I’m not a woman.
Yet.
I yawn in public
I don’t cover my mouth.
I belch
I eat
and eat
and eat
and eat.
I don’t cross my legs like a lady.
Sometimes I get funny looks at 8am because
I do not wear stilettos
or dark mascara
or push-up-I-need-a-miracle-bras
I walk barefoot on the sidewalk
say what I mean when I mean it
don’t depend on that other sex
when I can take them to the hoop
or break them inside out
we could fight about it
But you probably wouldn’t hit a girl.

OH! almost forgot. An 'inside out' is a type of frisbee throw...it bends.

Breaking people isn't exactly an honorable claim. Beating someone at basketball, however...

I apologize for my oversight. See, not a lot of people read what I put up here. Those who do read my poetry know me pretty well. Further, this piece was originally for performance art where the audience was pretty well acquainted with my activities. I wasn't using 'breaking' as an actual beating up, or physical damaging of someone else. I didn't realize anyone would read, let alone notice.
So here's what I mean to say when I say 'breaking':
I play ultimate frisbee...and 'breaking' is a term used when the handler (me, with the disc) throws to the side of the field that the point mark (the defender) is not suppose to let me throw to. This often results in a complete breakdown of the rest of the team defense (a longer explanation is necessary,, but for that the UPA is available). When the defender realizes that I have thrown through his mark, he has to yell 'broken' to his team so they know that he has, essentially, failed at defending me.
So you see, breaking a man on the frisbee field is comparable to beating him in the open lane, and something that a girl would normally not be expected to be capable of or successfully do.
Thank you Argus for allowing me this opportunity to explain.

Oh...I never was very good at ultimate. Regardless, don't thank me for not getting a clever in-joke.
