Karma of a Career Lady

She clings so tightly
 
To capitalist trench coats
 
Burning folks with kerosene rope
 
Coast to bloody engine spokes
 
 
 
The map is tarnished 
 
Glass ribbons shrewd from her eyes
 
(I minus I) is her demise
 
Constantly cutting back
 
And reinventing new blood
 
 
 
She recedes with definite sin
 
However, gory details aside
 
You're still a girl with a dream
 
Nothing more, nothing less

Some women take it too far!! I kind of long for the "old days" That was funny what you said about my damsel in distress. She would not be this career woman!!

Makes you wonder where the mythology of being a woman matches to the practicing of a career specifically chosen bc you thought it would be easy money, and now your in debt and dont want to do it. Love growing apart in trying times
