THE FIRECRACKER

She always wanted the kind of man
whom she could beat on the chest
when she was angry.
It was cute when she was in third grade,
but stopped being cute
by the time she was on the JV volleyball team
and her punches started leaving bruises.
It was even worse
when she started punching in the face.
