MISOGYNY 

HE SAID

I AM YOUR BOSS, YOU FOLLOW ME.

little me said, I thought GOD was the boss.

HE SAID I WILL HIT YOU WHEN I THINK YOU DESERVE IT, EVEN IN FRONT OF YOUR CHILDREN! I AM THE ROOF OVER YOUR HEAD!!

little me knew that if we said “no,” HE had the capability of crushing them all, like Esther.

so, then, the skinny white girl
with nowhere else to go
said
okay

Drag that SOB into Domestic Violence Court. That would fix things thoroughly.

Thank you, Robert, for commenting on my poem. I’m still a “Poet in the rough.” Your work is very good, I’ve read your poems. Warmest Regards, Robin
