Girly (Free verse) by Dovina

Fingernails long clicking keys wrong until polish dries words can’t fly rubbing itchy eye mascara’s a dye hair flussed and curly but had to rise early sushi with chopsticks redo lipstick but I’m better off girly than poetess, surely this poem of mine won't seem to rhyme

As anybody who's read "A Room of One's Own" knows (and that's probably nearly everyone who knows anything), "poetess" and "girly" have never been considered opposing options for women. In fact, poetry is historically the domain of good domestic girls, being usually somewhat shallower and more maudlin than other literary forms, and also easier to write during soapopera commercials. That you don't already know this is yet another stain on your much besmirch'd reputation.

I predict you'll say something about how this poem is not about girls and poetesses, but rather about something unrelated and at present unimaginable.
