A Poem with no Name
When I shave my face
and worry that one side
may not be even with the other
it is not because
a knife will be plunged
Several times
into my chest by a man
Who is offended
By lopsided beards.
But, I worry.
When I comb out my hair
that is long like a womans
In a public bathroom
and in walks another
with a short, cropped man's haircut
I sometimes wonder
what crosses his mind
Seeing me combing out my
womanly hair.
Why? He's still just taking a piss.
And I don't like
shitting in public
And nobody else seems to
either
I think, we think
of all those previous asses
That sat on that unclean seat
So, I hold it, we hold it
Until at home
Because I know, we know
Who to blame for
That dirty stool.
These would be the grievances
of the Declaration of Independence
had Jefferson written it this year.
How the British would laugh
In between sips of tea.
"Ha, ha, quite, quite."
