you've come a long way baby.

those eyes grazing with careening jeers.
they want.
they desire.
they raise their glasses.

i'd fuck her.
you'd fuck her right.
i'd fuck her.

with those automatic lips curved into a false acceptance.
her fake approval.
they tell her it's her right. to exist for them.
to be seen and desired by them.
God Bless Us All Because She Can.
her rights. and their rights.
they tell her they have the right to stare
the right to snarl to themselves and each other about all of the things they would
do to/at/on/in her.
but never with.
not together.
not as the same.

i'd fuck her.
you'd fuck her right.
i'd fuck her.

because she is. it.
she is that thing to have and hold.
to be touched and fucked and even hurt and used.
because.
she. is.
she. is. it.

as she moves. eyes gazing and grazing and looking but never seeing.
this is her right.
cheers baby. you've come so far.

i'd fuck her.
you'd fuck her right.
i'd fuck her.

seeing. is feeling. is knowing.
that her body.
her. self.
that she is not an entitlement.
entertainment.
or a receptacle.
sex.
not a fuck.
a sweaty palmed release.

every time she looks too long.
too hard.
too closely.
she tells herself.
as long as they look but don't touch.
touch. but don't hurt.
hurt. but don't kill.

when do we allow ourselves
women and men. him and her.
she and us and them and him and you and me.
to become human?
