Feminist Flash 2011

No, you may not come
in, on, or anywhere near me.
That is not my name.

-----

Third world feminists
We say that aloud sometimes.
Most times we just hide.


-----

I'm not too skinny.
It's just I can't remember
The last time I ate.

----


Whore, Traitor, Ugly
Scream out whatever you like.
Just not virgin, please.


----

Does that feel good, babe?
I said yes, so you finished.
There were exams to grade.

-----


Father, my protector
Where were you when he touched me?
Working hard for us.


------

Tampons are for sluts.
You are not a slut, are you?
I am much, much worse.

-----

The place I come from,
Does not respect difference.
So I left. You stayed.
