As Jewel's poetry is to [livejournal.com profile] aspartaimee, so Orson Scott Card's early short fiction is to me. (A nice target for one's otherwise unfocused anger.)

Sun Bathing

I read a book
and the man thinks
I can not see
the wrinkled posture
of his son
as he is nudged.
He thinks
I can not sense
four eyes
upon my flesh
as the father tries
to bond with
his teenage boy
by ogling my breasts.
