The Gendered Day


The Gendered Day

And thus it was born.

The birth of recognition

That man was of woman

As child is to need.


The cruel inventions

That set us apart

Man is to death

As Woman is to life


And what of balance

Venus and Mars?

One gets a day

The other a year.


A day earned

Instead of taken

Is a day worthy

Of a year and a day.
