WOMAN

Woman be an aesthete. Be tough as cartilage.
Wear jewels like a Maharajah, demand a ring left AND right.
Step on the throats of your men.

Woman paint yourself bronze,
agonize agonize over your

cellulite thighs.

Teach the children white teeth.

Woman snap. Crackle. Pop when you get the inclination.

Woman glow, woman darken your eyes. Woman watch Oprah.

Woman don’t let your hair grow wild. Snip snip snip.

Girl you are a woman.
Child you are a woman.

Man, you should be a woman.

Woman never break.
