a glimpse of me

I wear lipstick,
for my lips stick to the ears of men,
so they can experience in surround sound my screams of agony
with each lash of rulers, measuring tape, and scales,
as if my waistline and weight are inversely proportional to my value as a human being.
See my lips, they stick, but not together.
Rather, they flail open with flames to burn down this culture that once kept them shut.

Adriel Luis will always hold it down.

 This guy was the one that sparked my interest in spoken word years ago. To this day, I love this piece.
