  • Dedicated to Germaine Greer

    Untitled
    By Fern Smith 2018

    My name has a roughness,
    uncouth by some
    often feared.

    People see me at different events
    dressed differently.
    I have many hats.
    I have no religion;
    no title
    I am landless.

    The strange thing is I am sowing seeds
    they are sprouting,
    growing
    replicating.

    Unidentifiable.
    You cannot locate me,
    Or box me.

    You think you know me.
    I cannot be known
    For then I may be owned.

    I will defy you at every turn.
    I cannot be understood.
    You don’t understand.
    You cannot hold me.
    I am more than equal
    My name is Feminism
