"THE FENCE"
The Fence said, “I am here to allow entry to no offender”.
But the Opposer said, “I am freedom of life, Liberty,
and doing my own thing. The Fence said
“I do not care. I am designed to be a barrier
Of all things.” Yet again,
The Opposer said, I am about togetherness
and love and a willingness
To dream; of what it would be like to be on the other
Side of that strong veneer you reveal Mr. Fence.
The Fence has no intention of allowing movement of
Body or expression.
The Opposer has a challenge;
merge upon the Fence
To force its invincibility; and make it consider the
Possibilities of allowing
The Opposer positive control over it.
The Opposer has no design
On destruction, only a desire
That Mr. Fence has never considered.
Love; togetherness; entry; freedom to live;
To speak; to control; and to open the gate of the Fence.
We all have a Fence within, but we are also the
Opposer…so we can change.
Are you the Fence, Or the Opposer?

Exposure
By Victoria Huggins Peurifoy © 2009
Why is it that
When you see a brother
He is completely covered
But when we see our young sisters
They are exposed
From the breast that
Bob and weave for
All to see and
Stomachs that almost expose
Far below where they should go.
Backsides that are like a tire over a rim
that happens to be a pair of pants that are crying - LET ME OUT!
Oh yes… I can’t forget the almightily split where the door knob should hit.
Sisters, beauty is still on the eye of the beholder for what You expose, will not be taken home to momma;
for she would tell her son…no honey, she’s not the one. Here’s a thought, make yourself a mystery, wonderment
Of curiosity to man who will definitely be giving you the eye;
Because you will actually stand out among the vast array of choices in the crowd.
Exposure, what do you reveal?
Concealment is not a bad idea
For concealment allows the male
Imagination to do its own exposing.
