social commentary
There's a rich history of poetry serving as social commentary, intended to inspire calls to action.
Anatomy
You see, in school they taught anatomy with a male model. Breasts were on occasion mentioned but never permitted to be seen, at risk of damaging fresh-teen eyes. Fearful of the risk of over-exposing young brains to what even they, in their infancy relied on for life, the breast was often given just a dry description.

Yellow cars
It´s like looking for yellow cars, thinking there aren´t any. So, you look for them and suddenly you see them all around. You think everybody is happy and in love. You have this foolish romantic notion, that others - that I - just need to open my eyes and then we´ll magically find it, but to me it is painfully obvious that though there are plenty yellow cars around mine is still grey. I just choose not to take obsessive note of every single shiny, yellow middlefinger of a car rolling by.
