regaled with tales of a brick wall
I would never break through
how my feminine body
was simply too dainty
told of its permanence
how my female mind
didn’t have the capacity to
formulate a plan to annihilate it
(big words confuse girls, of course)
they kept building the wall taller
but they forgot to build it wider
so I walked around it and laughed
guess my girl brain works after all
