Women's studies majors
on occasion
tend to blow my mind
On anger:
females need a reason
men can just plain be
Where's the salt and pepper
Get me the butter and bread
I know you're hiding whiskey
Mind your own damned business
mama, mother, mom
strongest in the lot
SO
Might we discuss
the shocking notion
that tender is not weak?
NO
Inheritance denied.
OH
The looks I feel I get if I cut a cake maybe bake
shit my shame comes easy
Sometimes
I think my sisters
see in me
a leaning pane of glass
propped against the wall
gently move me to a safer place
want to shatter just to make them bleed
laugh at all the red
whistle as I
GO
take your trenchcoat
lined with watches
find yourself another mark
I've seen your ism wares firsthand
don't peddle me my own
Last night after dreaming
these words came from my pen:
she was
beautiful
wicked
sleight of hand
