Poem by Lucine Kaplan

BIG BREAK (1984)

Finally, out of the house, free

Working a 9 to 5 J-O-B

I can buy a Birkin with my own CC

No man will fuck with me

Independent woman, all I need is me

But walking the streets, cat calls and whistling

Like a piece of meat

Finally
Safe in my building, into work, chin up high

My boss pulls me aside

Into his office, cornered, he demands
him I climb

I freeze, seemingly oblige

To HR I cry

Ignoring my why
They say there’s a tear in my ny--

--lons, long walk home

Passed the dogs of the construction zone

The only place I’m safe is alone
