woke up today in a PMS rage
and you asked me if I am okay
so sweet of you, I’m just feeling quite through
with having a uterus
next week when I bleed the relief will be brief
before it’s interrupted by pain
it’s been years and it’s clear that my body has plans
to do this again and again
bloating or weight gain?
hormones or intuition?
sometimes I open my eyes and realize
dark lenses are affecting my sight
they won’t go away and I’m shrouded all day
while my mind it reminds and rewinds
hormones or instinct?
truth or paranoid thinking?
a flickering switch between both
potentiality despite the duality
what I’d really enjoy is a toke
