you are a woman
you are a woman
not because you like pink
or played Barbie dolls
or curled your hair at prom
or liked jocks with hairstyles
like that of a hedgehog
or inserted tampons in your
vagina
or because you have a vagina
you are a woman
because you identify yourself
as one
entree
spittle dripping,
thrusting gradually
slowing in its course
pop the sound
sounds like a bottle
cap newly opened
then stop.
you are done now.
done for. a total goner
only after the thrill of
being inside, hormones
in rage, waiting for another
pop to get off. to finish.
then none.
another flaccid plastic
hurled at the bin.
trash. perceiving
moans as erasers & grunts
as chasers where you get
by after a lick of lime and a
pinch of salt and wish that
after a loud shrill,
problems get drowned
by itself.
