Inheritance
When I was
in my twenties and bold,
I sat in my mother's car
discussing politics, and she said
"It's a man's world"
with a hard, almost gleeful
brittle smile.
I said
"Only cause you let it be".
She smirked,
and I hated her.
I couldn't get out
of that car fast enough.
I didn't know then
how easily a callus forms,
and how necessary it can be.
I hope my nieces get a better version
of the world,
of her, and of me.
Haiku for women who won't own it
When I hear you say
"I'm not a feminist, but
women are equal",
I think you're stupid.
What the fuck do you think that
word means anyway?
