if a man had to put his balls in a vise

there’d be heads on spikes.

3D mamos, pft! comfort isn’t covered.

lift your knickers and bear it. perk up

little blue pills-covered, period.


pink tax & Tampax

serving up gender bias on

tits and ass since, forever

made to manage our menses

BYOT, or


feed tampon dispensers,

50 cents? damn. no loose change.

rubbers are free, tho ribbed

period.

four thousand days spent

bleeding.

thousands of pinked-up products


thanks Earle, for listening.

no more

bandaged paper, rolled grass, fur.

sold in stores-

men; they'll never know the language of women.
