Nineteen Twenties and Flappers
Fringe on edge of a dancing flapper’s skirt
Provocative and playful, enticing and tantalizing
Encouraging other women
To dare be more modern,
Bob their head, dance in public
Changing the world
One woman at a time
Who is willing to normalize bawdy
Usually found in the bigger cities
Two or three years
Before they arrive in the small towns
Maybe never arriving in the Bible belt at all.
