The Patriarchy

Somehow...they do it
Even in 2004
Somehow they manage to grab my respect from the get go
When they shouldn't
When they damn well shouldn't
No more than the women
No more than the girls
This phallocentricity has not diminished yet
Even today, the office reeks of cum

Consumerized

9-5 isn't for me, but they tell me to
Order my days long, boring, and stupid
With a side of jewelry I don't need
Cosmetics I don't want
And handbags I find useless
My life shouldn't be so tasteless...should it?

- t. chabala



Ritual

Of course I walk the streets to nowhere
And buy myself lonely drinks
At Adios Mother Fucker's Lounge
And sit down
Around his breath on fire
As wet tongue plays this pussy up and loud
With heated violins
And moaning sound
