n. the frustration of knowing how easily you fit into a stereotype, even if you never intended to, even if it’s unfair, even if everyone else feels the same way—each of us trick-or-treating for money and respect and attention, wearing a safe and predictable costume because we’re tired of answering the question, “What are you supposed to be?”

"The Existence of the World Is a Controversy" by...
After the photograph, the class wandered off and I wondered why so often I found myself the last man. Because I’d read Emerson all summer long, I took my lack of discomfort to be a sign of heroic standing. So I determined to set for myself a new relation to the universe, to write poems. As if one could settle, once and for all, the question whether or not vocation is all. Solitude...

"Snowflakes" by Jennifer Grotz
Yesterday they were denticulate as dandelion greens, they locked together in spokes and fell so weightlessly I thought of best friends holding hands. And then of mating hawks that soar into the air to link their claws and somersault down, separating just before they touch the ground. Sometimes the snowflakes glitter, it’s more like tinkling than snow, it never strikes, and I want to be...
