THE SEXUAL POLITICS OF WAR
Part 1:
Leave the vehicle and look around closely
Make sure no one is ready to attack you
Turn the corner, look behind you and around the corner
Make sure no one is waiting to attack you
Approach the door and check if anyone is inside
Make sure no one is waiting to attack you
Close the door so no one will enter behind you
Ready to attack you
Enter into building, look all around
Make sure no one is waiting to attack you
Keep calm when someone appears should they be more than just walking by
Realize you are not breathing
Relax
Take a deep breath
War
Is it a place young men, targets in uniform, fight in a far off land
Or is it my walk home at night, womanhood my uniform and target
Part 2:
Are we so different?
The warrior and the woman
Stay in your place
One fights their wars
One cleans their kitchens
Both should just shut up and listen
Don't ask any questions
Fight the good fight
Same war on different fronts
So far in front we are facing each other
Part 3:
Is this your choice or our lack of choices?
