i'm angry
that's the poem
but i think i'll write
some more stupid crap
you're asking me
to be a polite poodle
on some feminist
wine-sipping lap
made to feel
like my words are worthless
and only because
once or twice i lied
excuse me for saying this
but at least i tried
to make the impossible
seem worth a thousand plane rides
used tampon
half sunk in the toilet
is just about
the right metaphor
oh the many ways
i fail the phrase
"i love you but
i can't do this anymore" |
