woman

she’s a bitch,
and a witch.
a messer,
and a fancy dresser.
a spender,
a lender,
a friend
with no end.
she does what she likes,
reads books,
rides bikes.
a downtown chick,
an uptown trick,
a downright bore,
an uptight whore.
she eats,
walks the streets.
grows hair,
leaves it there.
she might shave,
but doesn’t cave
to the rules
taught in schools.
she’s a bitch,
and a witch
– she’s a woman.
