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.

Seldom has a wagonload of giraff shit received so intricate decoration. You will doubtless conclude that I have a prejudice against giraffes relative to zebras, otherwise I would have said zebra shit. Of course the truth is that giraffes genuinely ARE slightly worse than zebras, so my slight preference is not so much a prejudice as an accurate one.
