“They thought I was a Surrealist, but I wasn’t. I never painted dreams. I painted my own reality.” -Frida Kahlo
that man over there
says that women need to be helped into carriages,
and lifted over ditches,
and to have the best place everywhere.
nobody ever helps me into carriages,
or over mud-puddles,
or gives me any best place
And ain’t I a woman?
