Even a word can shatter you like glass...

Sometimes, even a word can shatter you like glass…
That the meek word like the righteous word can bully..
That words can translate into broken bones…
That the power to hurl words is a weapon
That the body can be a weapon
any child on playground knows…
That word and body are all we have on the line…

from Adrienne Rich
Transparencies (the school among the ruins)
