members of the oppressive regime
the feminist poet was raging
against the means of men
and all their oppressive organs,
against the fantasy life that seems
to have inspired some lurid assault
on her - or someone very close.
the vulgar depictions, the nicknames
gleaned from schoolyards past,
littered her passionate missive,
the tone of which left me resentful,
wanting to blame her for such a
bitter, blatant over-generalization,
while still retaining indignation
for the men who inspired it.
