Let’s Look for a Reason
(commending her candidacy)
So
She’s flighty as we
Think women are—
No, that’s not right
She’s not serious-minded—
No, again not right
How about
She doesn’t convey authority
As our commander should—
Nope, can’t make that
Argument, either
But she does write e-mails,
Good!—there’s reason
For the pillory
Those things we usually
Use to keep them
Down just weren’t working
Out this time
Because she is a person
For all seasons?
No, she’s still a woman—
Can’t have that

My favorite thing is not to think or write in a partisan way. I’m registered to vote though not a member of any political party (though I’ve always favored the New Year’s Eve, should it be formed, and think the Pirates Party in Iceland holds promise). I do believe that the final prejudice to overcome in the current election for President will be in fact the problem over gender. Hence this verse about that.

that, I think, is true. gender will always be an issue. and hey, i love the political party ideas. maybe you could start one! 😀
