The sea, it will rise into truth—<br />
Churning black, around the water spout,<br />
Sucking words, images, half-truths, hatred<br />
Into a vast explosion of indignation and rebellion.<br />
Which way do the stone-faced blue blazers point us tonight?<br />
Where have you brought us, America?<br />
BRAVE ENOUGH TO BE ANGRY<br />
“Women, you have to treat ’em like shit.”<br />
—Donald Trump, New York magazine, November 9, 1992<br />
I don’t have a tidy soundbite for you.<br />
I wish I did,<br />
But I am not a hero.<br />
I am not a child.<br />
I have learned to regret words spoken in anger.<br />
But we are seething,<br />
Beneath the surface.<br />
How long we’ve been ignored,<br />
Seething for those brave enough to tell the truth—<br />
Seething for those punished for doing so.<br />
Seething for being told we have no right to seethe at all.<br />
You too?<br />
Me too.<br />
Centuries of indifference,<br />
Tacit (and sometimes open) sanctioning of sexual harassment, abuse, assault,<br />

Powerful men swallowed in the bonfire,<br />
Banned from the primordial, privileged Garden of Dicks.<br />
In the Garden of Dicks, it’s always about the dick.
