Some people have opinions about
every god-damned thing
underneath the fucking sun,
I have no time for opinions
from capitalist sexist assholes,
for they are the worse sort of
opinions I hear.
“A woman’s place is at home.”
“A woman’s only good for fucking.”
Yeah. Right.
Some people don’t know
when to shut their fucking mouths.
There was one person I know
who had an opinion about everything,
of course, he was always right.
He hated me, I hated him.
mutually disrespectful assholes
sitting around hating each other.
When I meet an asshole who happens to be rich
I thank the Lord I’m poor and struggling.
That doesn’t mean I won’t drink his beer.
I’m not stupid.
