what is a woman?

how did it become

a hard

question?

what is a woman?

i take out a picture from

my wallet

of my mother,

and say,

there you go. she's a woman.

seven kids

came out of her,

and then

a picture

of Marilyn Monroe

in a bathing suit.

she's a woman too.

factory parts, nothing added

or subtracted.

Jimmy in a dress

wearing lipstick is not a woman.

why is this question

so hard?
