both
by Emily Davidsonthe men who want it bad
think i'm too
buttoned-up
too busy folding
laundry, going to
bed early
the men who want it good
think i'm vicious
a predator who can catch you
right when you're weak
who stays up all night
smokes all afternoon
fucks 'til the morning
i am not in the middle
i am both 10/02/2012 Posted on 11/01/2012

| Posted by Johanna May on 01/15/13 at 03:34 AM I love poems that consciously or unconsciously tackle dialectics, hot/cold, fire/ice, there are two sides to everything, there is a unity and conflict of the opposites. Stunningly portrayed here. |
