Women Of The West
 
  
Women of the west, locked in embrace with our instant TV images created by comfort and hope, gossip and pity and disgust 
and cared for by us all, telling us what we are,   Sexy talkshow host, red-glossed-lips kissing microphone
announcing daily dinnertime drama, 
Cry-baby   Why-baby-lady   Left-with-a-baby   Poor-with-a-
baby    Homeless-addicted-and-HIV-positive-with-a-baby   Bad-
daddy-baby     Lady-why-don't-you-sue-the-guy-baby,
Miss I-can't-live-without-this-washing-powder-it-has-
changed-my-life-this-brand-new-brand-it-is-better-once-again 
and it's so spick and span, away with stains of sperm and 
chocolate spills, 
	Little doll-girl combing plastic barbie hair, picking 
dresses, shoes matching ever so perfectly in shades of pink like 
candy,
Tough-mad-mean- butch-in-uniform so she must be a 
dyke, if women rule they are worse than men, 
Sit-com-chatty-heroins in hip teenage dressing of 
oneliners and eyeliners, stumbling over things-that-just-happen-
to-be-there to make a man come to the rescue, and lovesequences 
between meanwhile quarreling couples in a sexual identity crisis,
Silicone-cleavage-phonesex-chick, buckle up big prick, I 
am hot as in spicy, vulcano as in pussy, lava as in cum, rubbing-
clit-doing-it while in reality there's a 
	Grandmother-aged-fifty making a living, reading the script 
of some male director's phantasy,  in that private booth of hers 
in that large office, pale-lit, among  others, wrinkled-freckled-
false-teeth-faces,
	Ladyshave-lady-legs smooth-and-shiny-ladies-wax-
bikiniline-babe-  Say thighs! Say hips! Say ass in the sand on the 
beach so lose the hair it won't hurt a bit and everywhere you go 
you will be a perfect fit, 
What do we care,
sportswomen winning a lesser price than men in the same 
field because nobody is supposed to be interested in the little roll 
we continue to play, 
What do we care, 
women artists hiding behind our man's successtory 
because in our slave humble minds we think we are no good and 
why would he disagree, 
What do we care, 
except for what we will wear to the shopping mall today 
 
What do we care,
dance-drink-pills-and-fuck-having-fun, with our 
stroboscope minds? 
What do we care,
tupperware-twit-do-you-want-more-tea and there's-no-
place-like-home - where the freezer is packed with meat, pizza 
and icecream 
What do we care,
it is not all that bad and if it is, it's not here, it is 
somewhere, it is there, so why should we care, 
Women of the west?
