i want to be a better person
but fuck you bitch
if you won’t tell me how
the dudes are out
us dudes are always out
loitering on corners
yelling on our cell phones
in front of windows
walking up and down the street
in packs of two or three or four
even during a global pandemic
us dudes are out
with our hands in our pockets
swinging our big dicks
getting coffee and a paper
like it ain’t nothing
maybe it ain’t
we’ve spread
toxic masculinity and misogyny
waaaaayyy the fuck further than some little flu
so stay inside ladies
you little punk-ass girlie men too
let the guys handle it
the tough guys
the real men
let us stay outside all day
jackhammering, buzz sawing
walking around in circles like we know our shit
then let us come back inside
for dinner and a beer on the couch
infecting you and yours
and everyone you love
like we always have
with our macho bullshit
roll our eyes and say
what are you bitchin’ about now, huh?
because the men got this
like we got everything else
you’re in good hands, babe
i swear
i promise.
