All About – Debbi Antebi

My colleague asked me what I thought about

The manager who made a big scene about

The associate who criticized the company about

The analysts who knew nothing about

The interns sending emails about

The rumors spreading into just about

Everyone’s lives

Profound

Your worries her worries should worries right worries

Right words wanted words guilty words words at all

Shock not shock blasé normal routine crying appropriate reaction

Selfish thoughts is this a dream pinch pinch pinch

Comfort how help me help yourself love you

Strong healthy whats life meaning no meaning round worlds

Fantasy comfort lie to yourself what can I do

Lilith in the Patriarchy – Stacey McPhail

Hewed in form twice removed is not Lilith’s
curse.

Shackles can be riveted flesh of the flesh.

Words and the World iteratively peg shame
as Time and Social Media fuck together.

Wombs cannot find purchase, and we can’t
all be named Sarah.

She seeks justification in patriarchy;

She cannot see her freedom from the finite.

She is endless, cup overflowing and identifies
the deity without possessive pronouns.
