Heather OC: Week 12 of 208

Harridan

What I shall call the next

Collection. The words we use

For She.

Belligerent.

Bully.

Bossy. Strict adherence

To rules inflicted

         On us each when young.

How Flynn’s Cool Girl Speech

Can be an anecdote

For this need for acceptance.

She said, we get a rush

From men’s attention,

Because we have all been taught

To falsely assume they

       Are superior. Ladies,

This is a trick. Embrace

The labels like your squawking,

Newborn son. Swaddle each;

Make them your own.
