Envy

by Ida Cutler

What! Penis envy?
Us?
No way!

Though it is a silken emblem of fecundity, and delight,
It is also of brute strength
And unbridled passion,
Pain imposed, a tool of
Revenge and domination.

We have our own strength.

We bear the children and feed them at our breast.
We are the source of life
You men delight in.
You were born of us.
Your life was our first.

And just why do YOU
Delight in well developed pecs?

Breast envy?
