Today's poem is by Penelope Scambly Schott

And the greatest of these is charity
        1 Corinthians, 13:13

This is a sermon for women.
Come close and listen.

Know that men are needy
and keep it to yourself.

They were born with their brains
where their vagina should be

so all they can give birth to
is machines.

They are afraid they aren't bigger
than their mothers

who rationed out survival.
When a man sucks your breasts

remember they are still yours.
Pretend to want his greedy lips.

You can be charitable.
You know you made the world.
