Generate meaning
1
i'll teach my daughter
2
to bang on anything that makes a beat
3
She'll shake-a-boom, She'll quake a room
4
She'll paint her cheeks warrior-style, then smile
5
beguile you, turn you inside out
6
til your guts plead guilty.
7
She'll be built like a truck, built to work you down
8
as she works herself up
9
She'll make holes in the streets
10
in her ten inch spike heels,
11
in combat boots, stilts, on roller wheels,
12
She'll stroll through Male Pride
13
Amazon Babes at her side.
14
She'll relinquish White Privilege
15
observe, be wise, She'll compromise
16
when the fire is stoked by Other Womyn's desires
17
but She'll never leave the flame.
18
All the same, She'll crave what makes her burn
19
She'll learn her Cunt's good name-
20
the thick red lips, the small hot tip
21
no more of this cryptic shit.
22
This Vagina will be known.
23
She'll park in all the wrong places,
24
make faces at police cars,
25
wind up behind bars, bust out big before serving her time,
26
fingernails full of this grime we call
27
Reality,
28
She'll dig her way through.
29
She'll pick her nose when she has to,
30
She'll scratch her ass,
31
She'll be a crass medusa child
32
a wild healthy Fiend
33
She'll live in all fonts and all sizes
34
curly q's, caps, italics, and Bold.
35
She'll fold airplanes out of shredded Cosmos
36
and Mademoiselles,
37
then pilot them to Never-Say-Never Land
38
where Peter Pan's gay and Wendy's ok with it.
39
She'll wear thick braids, She'll shave her head,
40
She'll eat thick breads, She'll let her breasts flop,
41
She'll mop the floor like Cinderella,
42
then with Rebellion- Prowess,
43
She'll unionize Daughters for a higher allowance.
44
She'll be male and female and in-between.
45
She'll preen, then crack her mirror, crack a beer
46
and watch Love Connection.
47
She'll go for days without taking a shower
48
just to feel unchained ivory-slave power.
49
She'll want more than what She's "หentitled to'
50
She'll watch through
51
Nike commercials
52
and She'll Just Un-Do It
53
ask Who's making that shit, Who's breaking their backs
54
keeping her breaking that
55
glass ceiling.
56
She'll do all of this.
57
and She'll do none of this.
58
and it's funny how we hide behind these Daughters,
59
hide ahead of our own Herstories
60
scared of ourselves
61
scared of the world
62
scared of Someone
63
who made us
64
one way
65
or another.
66
Well, this time around,
67
i'll be bound to my own mind womb
68
in my own birthing room,
69
i'll squeeze out, squeeze out
70
each crimson thick belief
71
then eat each pungent, sweet placenta
72
and relieved,
73
i will tear up this country's
74
"Welcome to the World" certificate,
75
tear off my father's father's father's father's name,
76
i'll legitimate my own entrance into a
77
Thinking Existence
78
i will birth myself towards
79
Resistance.
80
But no frantic tick-tock of this Biological Clock.
81
On my own time, Foremothers at my sides,
82
Sisters as midwives,
83
i'll cut my cord, head for that War
84
i will mother myself into my own grown Daughter
85
and I will call myself a
86
Home-Grown Woman.
