I Am Asking You

Interlocution is power play. Is asking submissive? Answering can be,
if you want it to. You can draw a drop of blood
with your alcohol swab on hand and be told this has to be reported
while nightly cis men drink poison until they can stomach the contents
of their own heads, for a while.
Is that right? How can you defend that kind of world?
Where is the shame? Where should the shame go?
Everything is political and psychosexual and gendered and
if you disagree I want you to make your case. Because

I wanted to try knifeplay but 
I was alone, so
I cut out the middle man.
I cut myself closed. Is it fucked up
I get euphoria out of crying like a girl?
I am a wound, dress me.
I am a woman, subjugate me.
I am alone, don’t let me be.
