Call Me "Broom"

First my father,
then the teachers,
last of them my husband preacher.

Dependent of each other
and of one authority
they me duly sent into exile;

that I had no rite to write about
especially no right to question
every blooming everything.

When I  poemed local Polly Annas
when  Scripture-like I spewed verse
my ass they did and thrice did curse..

Through clenched fists I heard them oath
"Let's water-board the bitch,
and do humanity a  freakin' flavor."

"Better yet, between two walls
let's spread eagle her leg to leg
so she can savor a taste if hell."

I have survived you pious robes,
you hooded sheriffs,
grand inquisitors of us  maidenheads.

Bye, bye  I'm off, you sawed off males
to cartoon sweep
in other places, other faces.
