If you learn the building blocks of womanhood You will never be the same again This gender self-destructs when gazed upon for too long And The *** Therapists and Makeup Artists The Midwives and Matchmakers Have all been un-ladied by their knowledge of lady-ness Here’s to the fat mask-wearer at the Sephora makeup counter Who will never get a beau and did all the faces at her sister’s wedding Here’s to legions of ruined teenagers Riding on the bitch-seats of motorcycles Because once you’ve gazed on the truth of femininity The others can smell it on you Like mother birds rejecting a chick And all of us Nuns and Ateliers We’ve only got each other looking out for us now

The Bridesmaid
If you learn the building blocks of womanhood You will never be the same again This gender self-destructs when gazed upon for too long And The *** Therapists and Makeup Artists The Midwives and Matchmakers Have all been un-ladied by their knowledge of lady-ness Here’s to the fat mask-wearer at the Sephora makeup counter Who will never get a beau and did all the faces at her sister’s wedding Here’s to legions of ruined teenagers Riding on the bitch-seats of motorcycles Because once you’ve gazed on the truth of femininity The others can smell it on you Like mother birds rejecting a chick And all of us Nuns and Ateliers We’ve only got each other looking out for us now
