The running faucet
Stays the same
Its use, only for
People who don\'t think
Of what the faucet wants
On, off,
Gauge open, gauge closed
Retrieving the desired amount of water
No more, no less
The faucet obeys, for
It was made for this
Similar to women,
Who are taught as kids
In the songs
Movies
Social settings
That they are here
To provide the pleasures
That men can’t get on their own.
Originally,
Before she became a faucet,
She was free, running water.
But still,
She was contained by the
Edges and banks of
Rivers
Lakes
Streams
Brooks
And bends at every corner
Society has a way of capturing,
Infiltrating,
Us.
Women.
Who will help this change?
When will it change?
Will it?
