THE RITUAL: 1. A WOMAN, BECAUSE...

By The Neo-Revsolutionist

Because she has crow's Feet

Bloodshot, dilated pupil eyes With

mascara bleeding down

Her red-flushed menopausal

Embarrassed peach-fuzz cheeks,

She shall not be re-touched, Body-

shamed or photo-shopped. 

Because she has pouting

Cigarette lips with crevices

Between cupids bow and nostrils

That store the remaining

Narcotic juiced traces,

She shall never be re-assigned, Body-

conscious or photogenic.

Because she has lost boy tribe

Stretched earlobes

That contain sterling silver platelets

Which clunk against her

Third Reich tattooed neck,

She shall neither be re-identified,

Body-perfect or photometric.

Because she has crucifix

And quoted Proverbs

Covering a mutilated mastectomy

Which she religiously pads out

With Kleenex in Wonderbras,

She shall not be re-aligned,

Bodymorphus or photonic,

Because - she is a Woman.

She will forever be re-evaluated,

Always Body-Psyched and

Photokinetic.
