“Do it all,
Have it all,”
Said society’s liars.
We women, we bought it
(Such gullible buyers.)
We climbed up the ladder,
Wiped out (fucking tired)
To the rope licked by flames,
Bravely walking the wire.
We fought for our balance
(“Stay out of the fire!”)
Burned our feet
And our selves,
Then plunged into the fryer.
