Theoretical injunctions
reflections of a social reality
epic
you’re inclusive by your nature
actual reality is an intrusion
you read the narrative
you make it your reality
what goes on outside
unimportant
what am I to you
a character in a play,
a moral dilemma?
I’ve flesh and blood, you know
but what’s that to you
moral and ethical issues must be debated
that’s all that holds your interest
legends of women
ambiguities
a woman’s free choice
what about that?
bandage my eyes
blind me with pretended injustice
then will you love me?
male interests
male superiority
narratives contrary to surface meaning
I love thee
I love thee not
let me be the example
a lesser epic
a lesser heroine
for I love you
and I am the fool.
