my feminism is visible
big breasted
smart mouthed
often discounted
& ignored
always wearing shades or throwing it
got bottom grillz
two master’s degrees
is Teyana Taylor in that Kanye video
dressed like Queen Latifah in Set It Off
ain’t woman enough for the straight ones
ain’t man enough for the gay ones
sags sometimes when I don’t wear a belt
shops in men’s departments.
hard
but ain’t bullet proof
is proof of the bullet
my feminism is Jesus
the real one
the black one
with locs
on the cross
no the ankh
crucified
broken free
cupping the world on its bare shoulders
can carry a baby
but ain’t too sure about pushing it out
my feminism is mother
is a motherfucker
wish a motherfucker would
might smile at you but not for you
will grab trump by his pussy
even though he’s all asshole
gets catcalled
and called dog
by women who hate how masculine my feminism is
it don’t make women loyal
don’t make them stable
or stay
gets cheated on
& called too feminine
for having feelings about it
my feminism is exhausted
of your expectations
& being judged
& being denied
& explaining its own femininity
