National Poetry Writing Month 2017

17. Caught between a man and a woman

Caught between a man and a woman
I can tell you that there is still too much
man in the picture.
Look
somehow femininity is catnip for people
who want to get high off of eating it
and both men and women have tried
to make me their chew toy
The men are raised to think
woman is weakness, is
man with missing parts, is
fucked up and fucked with so it's the 
man's duty to manifest our destiny,
colonize the wild out of my body
Women are raised to think 
man is power and 
the absence of power is a vagina
or if not that, then anything else that begs to be beaten
So when the men molt
women step into the exoskeleton
as if even a dead man's skin is permission
enough to rule
