Police violence,
institutional violence,
psychiatric,
psychological violence
and systemic violence
don’t count when you’re
a single white,
post-menopausal
female who has survived
impossible things—
especially when people
also want to frame
said inconveniently
intelligent female
as “Jewish,” even when
half her heritage
happens to be Catholic.
I make zero apologies
for existing
as a free spirit.
And that is, apparently,
intolerable to the system.
Too. Fucken. Bad.

Let me know what you think!
