Swordplay with a Side of Patriarchy

my vagina

was minding its own business

demure, close-lipped

modestly veiled

refrained from spewing

Feminazi rants

 

when it was given a directive

(couched as advice

condescended)

by a system-anointed penis

(hereinafter referred to as penis #1)

threatened by numbers

purportedly inflated

authoritatively proclaimed

by a self-anointed penis

(hereinafter referred to as penis #2)

 

penis #1 is a jailer

(not my jailer,

but a jailer nonetheless)

THE MAN

con-institutionally invested

in his corrupted version

of reality

 

penis #2 is my boss

(top boss, company owner boss)

source of financial solvency

prone to demi-grandiosity

bestower of a project

worthy of my talents

engaging intellect and passion

while boosting his status

on the back of my

inspired labor

 

penis #1 holds a key

to implementation

of said endeavor

locked in

blinded to reality

in perpetuity

terrified

in that

never admitting fear way

penis #2 may broadcast

his question-raising

numbers publicly

 

a sticky wicket

admittedly

 

the obvious solution

to a penis square off:

give the vagina

(any vagina in range will do)

none of the power

all of the responsibility

 

I’ve seen

this movie before.

The ending is predictable.

 

Where’s the remote?

Oh, of course…..

  1. Part of me wants to like this, and part of me feels like I shouldn’t come anywhere near it, out of fear and shame. I guess the first part won.
