For Marge Piercy's Feminist Poem, "In the men's room(s)"

 

i just don't relate.

what appeals to

you about the men's room anyway?

trust me, i've been there. it

stinks. i was

little and went in by mistake.

a sweaty

man with a mustache, held

up his

penis and laughed at me.

intellectual discourse,

in there?

old

men farting, other men looking,

not washing and shaking

each other's hands,

what makes you want to go

in there?
