Women Of The West
Women of the west, locked in embrace with our instant TV images created by comfort and hope, gossip and pity and disgust
and cared for by us all, telling us what we are, Sexy talkshow host, red-glossed-lips kissing microphone
announcing daily dinnertime drama,
Cry-baby Why-baby-lady Left-with-a-baby Poor-with-a-
baby Homeless-addicted-and-HIV-positive-with-a-baby Bad-
daddy-baby Lady-why-don't-you-sue-the-guy-baby,
Miss I-can't-live-without-this-washing-powder-it-has-
changed-my-life-this-brand-new-brand-it-is-better-once-again
and it's so spick and span, away with stains of sperm and
chocolate spills,
Little doll-girl combing plastic barbie hair, picking
dresses, shoes matching ever so perfectly in shades of pink like
candy,
Tough-mad-mean- butch-in-uniform so she must be a
dyke, if women rule they are worse than men,
Sit-com-chatty-heroins in hip teenage dressing of
oneliners and eyeliners, stumbling over things-that-just-happen-
to-be-there to make a man come to the rescue, and lovesequences
between meanwhile quarreling couples in a sexual identity crisis,
Silicone-cleavage-phonesex-chick, buckle up big prick, I
am hot as in spicy, vulcano as in pussy, lava as in cum, rubbing-
clit-doing-it while in reality there's a
Grandmother-aged-fifty making a living, reading the script
of some male director's phantasy, in that private booth of hers
in that large office, pale-lit, among others, wrinkled-freckled-
false-teeth-faces,
Ladyshave-lady-legs smooth-and-shiny-ladies-wax-
bikiniline-babe- Say thighs! Say hips! Say ass in the sand on the
beach so lose the hair it won't hurt a bit and everywhere you go
you will be a perfect fit,
What do we care,
sportswomen winning a lesser price than men in the same
field because nobody is supposed to be interested in the little roll
we continue to play,
What do we care,
women artists hiding behind our man's successtory
because in our slave humble minds we think we are no good and
why would he disagree,
What do we care,
except for what we will wear to the shopping mall today
What do we care,
dance-drink-pills-and-fuck-having-fun, with our
stroboscope minds?
What do we care,
tupperware-twit-do-you-want-more-tea and there's-no-
place-like-home - where the freezer is packed with meat, pizza
and icecream
What do we care,
it is not all that bad and if it is, it's not here, it is
somewhere, it is there, so why should we care,
Women of the west?
