DAMN, YOU ARE ALIVE, GIRL !!

(For performance artist Megan Kashat)

How you are performing
On a stage in front of
All these men
Who had themselves
Go through all those
Wanky animalisms
To come out
The other end
With one thought only
Damn, you are alive, girl!

And you make your life
And livingness
A piece of art
Flying by
In a Mach 2.5 Raptor jet
And shredding a guitar
Putting Steve Vai to shame

How you make women
Seeing you perform
Feeling jealous and amazed
About what a being
Can do with a woman's body
And when they got themselves
Straightened out
They realize
Damn, you are alive, girl!

I love your paintings
I really do
And how fire
Is coming out of your eyes
And your thoughts
In your words
And
There is only one thing more
I have to tell you now
Damn it, girl, you are alive !
