Dramatic Monologue
Cooperative PowersPower to condemn others, and oneself,
is weaker than power to help others, as oneself.
Power to destroy others, and oneself,

This Is Unfinished Feminist UsSo I was feeling badly,
sad,
because I share our mutually complicit status
for my compatriot's difficult terrorizing

challenges and victories begin
where others more wisely end.
I feel wrong to publish thoughts
under just my name
built on shoulders,
plodding feet,
sleight of hands
and great transitional feats
reminding me...
