SEXUAL DISCRIMINATION

by

W. D. Chase

She has the same form as mine, this one of many.

"Women, they're all alike."

Wow! I hear them say, Look at that, what a set,

Admiration with a dirty leer.

I wonder what she.... I bet she....  If she....

Hardly a fan club.

I wasn't seen, or was I, as they left.

What would it matter.

I am like her, someone's daughter, mother,

Sister or even lover.

Snickers echo down the hall, I hear, no feel,

She's all yours.

Who was just given away, without a thought?

Who has the right?

Those are questions that won't bother them,

I have heard it said they think it crude of me,

To dislike this form of revelry.

I guess they'd know about that sort of thing,

These experts on courtesy.
