‘The Body Keeps The Score.’
‘She’s a slag,
a slut.
She can’t keep her legs shut.’
‘What a whore’,
they say.
As they’re sat next door,
denoting every woman they’ve been with in the past week
(double digits)
with a fucking score.
(For which, women can save their paper and ink because,
‘the body keeps the score’,
as they say)…
‘Where virginity is lost
innocence has gone astray.’
Acting all biblical,
quoting Corinthians 6:18–20:
‘Flee all sexual immorality.’
Where purity is gone
if the score is over one.
Double standards
by men who can’t stand the thought
of women being with anyone other than them.
How to tell them
that lesbians exist…
How to tell them
that women too can have ‘scores’ in double digits…
Where in using the word as a self-descriptor,
it loses its power to offend,
we are whores
and slags and sluts
and so…
fucking…
what?…
