BOOTY
BOOTY CALL OUT
A young handsome hipster crossed Bathurst St.
beside me He said: I will protect you Now I sit
at Brioche Dorée with signs that say: Continually
look for ways to be greener If you’re afraid of butter
use cream It even says: Brioche pronounced bree-osh
I do need that dude to protect me from pop-up Normandy
+ it seems a few Toronto Hydro guys close by
They are wonderfully polite about ogling me One is impish
persistent & Gandalf-esq He might make the perfect man-pet
The media is giving terribly conflicting messages right now One
feminist columnist spent 13 paragraphs extolling as empowerment
the virtues of Kim K’s: oiled naked ass on the cover of PAPER (who
knew such a big arse could be so flawless)
In the same newspaper another proto-feminist from Harvard called
ogling a form of public shaming I don’t know though my new man-
pet is so compact I suppose that I could grab him by the throat +apply
pressure until the police come And this is where it all falls apart as I of
course would be the one arrested
Rebecca Dick/ Children’s Hospital Pittsburgh is studying: cyberdating
abuse & found 41% of 14-19 yr. olds reported such abuse in 2012 including:
harassment stalking +threats more common among girls with a clear link
to offline abuse+sexual assaults
Seriously Kim’s bare ass cannot be construed as evidence of women’s
empowerment! More likely a narcissistic ploy to get more coverage
Clearly it’s about the size of her bank account So what chance does little
North West really have of ever escaping the infamy of her mother’s well oiled booty?
