Middle-Aged White Woman (Free verse) by Dovina

Maybe it’s time. You look at me and see a symbol of conservative acts that hurt you. My kind abused your kind. Now with your freedom, your authority, your power, it’s time for retribution. Go ahead, ignore me, don’t hire me belittle me in your verse skip over me at your readings. My ancestors did it to your ancestors. You have the right. It’s a new experience for me, that’s all. Maybe it’s time.

I never said the poem said anyone ignored you. I said it proposes that they ignore you. Then I said, guess what, they already are; they don't need your permission.

You always say you're describing a case. You're always describing a population. You're also a racist. Is your answer going to be, No, I'm not; I, Dovina, declare that I'm not?

Why don't you try listening for once?
