things i have learned
by Charlotte Covey
it is worse to be a cunt
than a dick. it is worse
to bleed than spit
white, worse to
feel pained red
life than pleasured squirts
of the same. it is worse to be
a pussy than a prick, worse
to feel anything other than angry
veins pulsing. so much worse to imagine being
soft.
