Genital Poems

Genital Poem I

1. waz talkin with
a computer nerd
about
vaginas/he syz, "we're men,
we can't say that word. it makes us uncomfortable./
we can say 'down there' and 'pussy/cunt', but never 'that word.'

[oh, poor baby]

2. it's abt reclaiming
what we got left.

Genital Poem 2
Ask me on a
giddy day,
and I'm all
for 'borrowing'
cunt for use as a
positive feminist adjective.
as in, 'wow, my poems are so cunty.
It rocked with female energy."

Cunt has a hell of a history and we need to shake up the boat.

CATEGORY -- both poems can be lumped under "WHITE MIDDLE CLASS HIPPIE FEMINIST OPPRESSION" or "OTHER" or "THEODORA'S ATTEMPT TO WRITE LIKE NTOZAKE SHANGE", 2004
