I wondered if I'd take heat for the, "First came the girls who made a great noise," line but when Katie and Kaleb read the poem, they both singled it out as a "realistic depiction of what would happen." Women use words as weapons.
Then again, so do I.
When I write poetry, it is to "reveal a truth," not "conceal it" ... which means completely ignoring the "politically correct" (but ridiculously unrealistic) aspirations of activists, whatever their persuasion.
