I remember seeing women
mostly lesbians marching
down Fifth Avenue *******
fists raised screaming
"Sisterhood is Powerful!"
women marching shouting
in their cheapest scanties
& carrying signs that read:
"Still Not Asking For it!"
the Suffragettes were violent
extremists; bomb throwing
terrorists who staged hunger
strikes for women's rights;
they didn't have body-image
problems; take Evelyn Nesbit
the serpent in the gilded
garden that made it all go
underground until Kennedy
& Marilyn Monroe; tearing
through petticoats to get
to the corset to rip
the bodice, getting stuck
by straight pins; tearing open
said corset lace a tangled weave
like a ******* basket; ****
encased in hard shells so
it's like lifting a ******
car hood; then over ur head
w/ it, hope I don't pull ur hysterical
head off w/ ur Christina Rossetti
*****-****** greasy hair looking
beautiful in paintings cuz paint
is greasy & u sweaty all over
from carrying signs &
marching in the street; I love u
