Straight Talk

Lisa Reynolds

As women, we hear

crude comments about

our bodies, its curves

​

What they'd like to do to it - 

to us

​

We're taught

to ignore, walk away, 

run if necessary

​

As a writer, 

I expose behaviors 

people cringe from

​

But like a helicopter

I keep circling, recording,

broadcasting

​

Some truths 

must be known

​
