[the Writing of Kuypers] [JanetKuypers.com] [Bio] [Poems] [Prose]
rape is connected
rape is anger
i didn’t get the promotion i deserved
this traffic is always in my way
i’m angry all the time
and the damn kids are banging
i just want a fucking beer, you bitch
it’s all your fault
a socially accepted target
to the frustration produced
by living in this society
misdirected towards
a socially accepted target:
women
- Men and Politics Group,
East Bay Men’s Center,
Statement on Rape
i work in a cubicle
the boss doesn’t know my name
i put in too much overtime
this tie makes it hard to breathe
there’s all these bills i have to pay
their toys when i come home
and dinner is never on time
and your looks have just gone to hell
and i hate you
