Sir, you were the only thing distressing this damzel
How many explanations, polite rejections, rude confrontations
does a woman have to make
to get someone to realize
that she wasn't a dumb dizzy distressed damzel
when her tire went flat
when she slept alone
when she hiked through the woods
when she traveled by herself
when her bike chain broke?
Today at 5:30
you were drunk and a little too proud
wearing a shirt that said
"Champion Streaker"
expecting the world to hand you
"thank yous"
where a "please" was never uttered
you who almost grabbed the tire iron
and proceeded to wrench it from my hand
until I surprised you by saying
"I want to do it myself"
Because I looked enough like I knew what I was doing
And you felt your center slipping
scared constant affirmations might not come your way
anymore
if you couldn't fix things for me
and you'd never heard a "fuck you"
where you expected a "thank you"
for the tire you would have changed
that you had no business to
it wasn't your turn
like the time
a room full of people
got angry with the man who took someone else's turn at improv
when a lady just needed a little more time to figure it out
because the opportunity had never came her way
as it had his
and he was confused by the anger
and said
"I expected you to thank me."
and that kinda sumed it up right there.
I WANT TO DO IT MYSELF
Don't save me
DO share with me
don't call me kiddo
and ask me if I'm feeling macho yet
I WANT TO DO IT MYSELF
This piercing annoyed stare that drove you off
is a tool of my own evolution
because you won't always be around
you are fleeting and free like the ocean and the wind
and so am I
unable to be contained by these gender roles I didn't create
But if you need one last affirmation sir
I'll tell you not to worry
even when woman doesn't need you to fix anything anymore
She'll still fuck your brains out
and here's a hint
She likes to be on top just as much
and I'm guessing you won't mind it
either
UGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I'm sick of being offered help with every tire I change. Or car I jump. Or bike I fix. Just leave me alone if i decline your help and don't stick around and criticize my every action. Not cool.
