Intention & Topic

The intention of this poem is to defend the women's equality, because they are as equal as men.
In the poem we can see that she says that when womens are born they, do it as victims (1st paragraph) and when a man is born, he is does it as a hero. So if she had been born as a man, she would have been a hero, from her point of view.

yank - tirón

Intention  & Topic
When we had to think about the intention or topic of the poem, we thought that it was not easy to gasp the maig information or point, but we have finally reached a conclusion: this poem is about inner thoughts.
It’s about some inner thoughts that appear to be relatd to a sentimental relationship between a man and Zhang. This relationship does not seem to be healthy of good, because the constant tone looks like an angry person’s tone or sound (or something like that). To sum up, I’d like to mention that it couls also talk about the process of falling in love, and also the process of discovering that he has been cheating you.

when I was born I was born

a victim

when you were born you were born

a hero

just kidding

you were anything you wanted to be

remember that you are supposed to

barf on me

& I am supposed to barf

on myself!

Go ahead

& say that I have not planned for my future

let’s hear you say that

your degree in sociology

is as important as being an unborn baby

the day we dropped the atom bomb

you cloud

& the mushroom tip of your dick

is just disgusting!

I don’t give if the third world makes hygiene

difficult

“I said I don’t give if the third world

puts you at a disadvantage

I didn’t choose to be born where I was born

& if your baby was not born

the day yr flower dress

got burned onto yr back

that’s like

not my fault!”

Okay

so is it my fault

that I want to leave this poetry reading

so I can go look at the electrical fire

& applaud for the fireman

who we think are great

because they are not poets

but one of them says something

he’s like, burhgh and we ask for more!

Don’t fucking text your friends when I’m reading a poem I took two years to write
or if you do it then be
right and if you are right be
relentless like this was relentless
when you spoke to that bitch
she was just That Bitch
and you were just A Good Guy
and that was the first time My Lips
wanted to be lips and they were
just the lips that your little movers
loaded in a van that lived in Norway
like you live in a place that is so faraway
my entrenched feelings have a way
of making themselves known
to know me is to know my mother’s bad English
the time I charmed you with not wanting
to not want to not take a shit
in my pants which were yours
the smell was also yours
you gave me the constipated figurine
I washed it like it was my own
and it was your face that gave me the finest idea
the idea of not having any more ideas
was good enough if it meant saving the idea
of you or the time you yanked metal
from your hand which does not leave me
even when my face is no longer a face
and my ideas no longer ideas
just the fine French doors you live inside
like I live inside this promise
like you live inside my dreams
the best ones where you did not yet exist
though I knew this fine universe
would create you eventually
and I would never stop thanking my mother
for creating me too.
