Another Damned Feminist
By Kati

It's itchy! (not to mention how ever-so-irritating)
So I finally decided to do something liberating
I threw those razors away! (such an easy habit to kick)
How surprisingly unguilty it feels to not buy BIC
I mean, don't get me wrong, their pens are great,
But that hellish pink plastic that so infuriates
My skin cells, my nerve endings, leaves my legs looking porous
So that the hair came back like a vengeful black forest
As thought had to make up for shaved time, it grew
Dark. And Thick. As though each hair were actually two
Fused together to appear merely one
Although, I must admit it's been quite fun
To freak out those men who stare at my breast -
Run my fingers through my head's hair, and show off the rest...
