Autonomy

Autonomy

by Charl Landsberg

Jack prefixes his opinions,

about my body, 

to be tattooed into my flesh with,

"You shouldn't..." and "you must..."

I suffixed his teeth with a brick.

If you want to write a thesis,

bring your own damn ink.

My skin isn't a public canvas.

Shit out your opus elsewhere.

A Facebook Status for the Fifth of November

Remember, remember the fifth of November,
oh Jesus, the broflakes are loose,
spare us the mansplaining, actuallies, concern feigning;
and shove it right up your caboose.
