i am a woman of means
i will find myself rising up and out of the sea
in glorious femininity,
i can seduce everyone i know
and paint the naked sky a passionate pink with my comings and goings,
but this is NOT what it means to be a woman.
must i choose between the pedestal or the crack in the ceiling?

A woman at odds must be a warrior at all times.
she must worship the moderate
and be called extreme.
