I see you
You have steeled yourself
And the light bounces off of you
Almost as sharply as you must bounce back.
The men in your office
Get to be molten,
Wild fire magma mass-
ively naive.
Unaware what it takes to be you
In their world.
Is it still their world
After all these years?
It certainly is here.
The land of the free,
the brave
And the zero paid parental leave.
Is it still a place where men forget
they get
the benefit of the clout?
Still a world where you don't know
Who gets paid what
And are left guessing how much
You leave on the table
Just to save a seat at it.
