pink
oh, to be a woman.
oh, to wear pearls and dissent.
oh, to wear red lipstick and curse generations of men.
to hex the billionaires and rapists.
oh, to wear pink and write poetry and protest.
to be a woman in the twenty-first century
and to be able to fight like we have,
and also how we couldn’t before.
oh, to use everything that has been
vilified about me,
my emotions, my devotion, my anger,
and put all of it to good good use.
oh, to be gorgeous and educated.
to read bell hooks and actively engage in
love.
oh, to be a woman.
