BOTH/AND
To claim half the species
is erased if you ac-
knowledge 1% as
sisters is to embrace
the calculus of
scarcity
from under your captor’s knee
a desperate screamfest
in a gladiatorial mudpit
below smugly burning
patrician cigars
***

a hundred child
suicides than a slight
dimming of our
lesser light is
as selfish as it is
stupid and cruel
***
Say: “women”
“cis” “trans”
“folks with wombs” —
Both/and
