This is for the bitch in the back
who told me last week that I was her favorite poet
and she doesnt care how many time she has heard 12 bricks
thats is just as bad ass as the first time she heard it
Bitch,
haven’t you ever had cotton candy on a rainy day?
Then maybe you would know
I am a 2 bit hacking cumulative
of a white nikki giovanni
and subdued beau sia
I am the make up of poets past
a you tube imaglm
stuck between black panther radical
turned intellectual survivalist
asian raged evolution to azn anchorman
both so in tuned with racial identity
they becomes figments of
fairy hood reality
I have stolen their angst and made it my own
and another face in the crowd
refers to me as ‘crazy white girl poet’
eh, it could be worse.
this is for the bitch in the back
who said I was as fearless as all women should be
that this raw feminism should sweep over us
like a tidal wave and we start a new
Bitch,
read more ms. magazine
then try to survive a new england class on gender identity
the shit that shaves your head
tapes down tits
bars babies from the butcher
fuck the ear-piercing and circumcisions
we are a maelstrom of mutilations
today we go natural
and we go militant
a year of hard lezzy labor
leaves masturbation over conversation
and the pussy in me broke out and broke down
now I fall to me knees at a shudder of masculinity
fantasize about leaving domestic bliss
seeking sequined stripperdom.
My internal feminism
is either dead or outdated.
this is for the bitch in the back
who said she just comes to listen
bought a five dollar free hole shirt
and told me she was my biggest fan.
Bitch,
10 years ago I started writing
7 years ago I was in transition
5 , I was abused
3, I was trapped
2 I found home
1 fell in love
yesterday I retired
tired of forcing feelings that prefer forgetfulness
reading hate mail from another imbalanced artist
picking up poets
patting their backs
then paying the poetry bills
when did slam become my home life?
But I like selling you the picture, dont I?
ms. bitch in the back?
This neo feminazi
perpetually pissed off
sexually sadist
over controlling cunt.
Thanks Bitch,
you make me blossom.
If I didnt write out the crazy white girl
I might become it
And if you didnt listen
I might step this stereotype
out the door.
