Herstory History
a dialogue poem
`Who are you
No, who are you
`Who are you to tell my story
You have not walked an inch in my boots and still
`You wandered into the library of my existence
Attempted to slither miles in my skin
`Became judge and executioner
Pulled volumes of faults and fanned them like fire
`Deleted great moments of my life and history
Screamed only about the things that went wrong
`Hid all the joyful things that went right
Scoundrel
`Monster
That's what you are
`That's who you are
No peace, no cure, until then we'll war

Let's Don't Do This
"I just can't do this anymore..." "Do what?" What can't you do? Put gas in your own car? I swear to God you make me take care of everything, don't you? You know I'm on my way to work right now but that never stops you from bothering me, does it?"
