Unwilling participant in this social system
Unsure what I'm yet to experience
Stigmatising myself at every turn
Making it hard to cultivate charisma
What do I owe this culture?
What does it owe me?
Who and what does it contain?
And who am I without it?
*
Don't think too much
Smile at the social cues
Adorn your eyelids with submission
Offering them up if someone male should gaze your way
A practiced, showy, stylised submission
Pretend it doesn't grate as you tinkle away
When all you really want is to find the mechanism
To be in control and have it be okay
