Subterranean Homesick Blues

stfusexists:

“The reality is that women are treated differently by society for exactly the same reason that children and the mentally handicapped are treated differently. It’s just easier this way for everyone. You don’t argue with a four-year old about why he shouldn’t eat candy for dinner. You don’t punch a mentally handicapped guy even if he punches you first. And you don’t argue when a women tells you she’s only making 80 cents to your dollar. It’s the path of least resistance. You save your energy for more important battles.”  -Scott Adams

I love how he almost comes out and says exactly what he actually means, which is, “Women are treated like children and disabled persons because they are incapable of doing things men can”. That’s patently false, and that’s why we’re all pissed that women are getting paid less to do the exact. Same. Things.

What an asshole. Dilbert was mediocre at best, you jackass!

What. The. Hell.

Feast

            —Let me taste
the kitchen in your skin.

Now that company’s gone
& the kids are tucked in,
let the real feasting begin.

Let me lay you out on the
bed like a spread of bone

china.—Yes, I want a
piece of you.
                Yes, I do.

Give me your garlic, and
the sting of your pepper.

The plenty of your hair
(cinnamon, cardamom).

Here a hint of coffee, &
there, in the cup of your
shoulder, I swear, a lick
of salted butter.
                          But first:
your wrist, your palm’s
sweet meat.

                          Dip your
fingers in my kisses—
star anise—lemon zest—
Say a grace, my fare,
my flight,
                  & let’s re-light
the candles tonight

Damn. Happy Thanksgiving, y’all.
