Sit like a woman!
Cross your goddamned legs.
Don’t show nothing.
Sit still like a woman.
You didn’t fight for this:
The thick branches of independence,
A woman’s right to make 30% less,
Suffrage a hole to punch on a fucking ballot,
Diet commercials screaming on TV,
Almost-nothing sweeteners disappearing before your very eyes,
First woman President ALMOST makes it,
Lifetime TV movie telegraphs,
“Band Of Gold” [...]
On August 29, 2008, I read at Rapp Saloon, a reading at the hostel in Santa Monica, CA. I read three pieces: “I fell deeply in love with you somewhere over Topeka, Kansas…”, “Its going down…” and “Sit like a woman!…” Please visit www.adambresson.org for more poetry and writing. Hope you enjoy!
