“When The Woman is King (Sonnet)
When the woman is king,
no mother goes without leave,
no dreamer goes without choice,
no queer goes without dignity.
In a world run by women,
no gender is second gender -
in a world run by the indigenous,
no ethnicity is the second race.
Before the human race becomes equal,
first the dehumanized must reign supreme -
when the woman is king, that's the
last time the world will ever need a king.
When the woman is king, not queen, not princess,
but the absolute monarch of the kingdom of apes,
that's the beginning of actual human evolution.”

“When The Woman Roars (Sonnet)
Just in case it isn't obvious
to the vacant lot you call a brain
fumigated by testosterone,
women age just like human,
women get wrinkles just like a human,
we aren't born with glitters on our skin,
women have body hair just like a human -
women fall, women fly, just like a human,
our taste changes over time just like human,
our figure changes like any living organism,
it's called being alive, being content,
you overinflated pheromone merchant!”
