Been looking for this poem for awhile now....

Or more accurately for this one partial stanza.

Marge Piercy

For Inez Garcia

You cannot smoke your honor, you cannot
show it to your caseworker, you cannot
pay it in the supermarket for a can of beans.
Like freedom it doesn't exist
unless you make it

reincarnated as a butch, formers, beloveds, poims, cryptic messages from beyond, poverty is my shtick, year of emo
