In my gentlemen’s club
the ladies come out on stage
in baggy sweats and hoodies
then ever so slowly put on
winter coats, boots and mittens.
They grind to the beat of a
girl power song, briefly
flipping off the stripper pole
A big tipper can take
one of the ladies
to the back room
and tie up her boot straps.

Happy International Women’s Day.

I love this one. Hilariously translating some women’s frustration at the way women are objectivised. Personally I don’t mind as long as the women are actually able to choose between that and another day job but still prefer being a stripper.

At least they’ll be warm and cozy π I’d imagine that would be quite different than tottering on insanely high-heeled stripper boots.
