Ode To A Businesswoman

Hey, babe, I know you’re having a hard time. But so are the rest of us.

Girl in a business suit, I

Saw you coming out of that cafe

A twenty dollar latte in hand

Girls like you (and forgive me if you’re not)

You fascinate me

Your cologne smears like perfume

Your shoes like a mom’s lipstick

Like a displaced Sidhe, you

March to the beat of an anonymizing drum

To the tune of a silver-spoon blare

I wonder, and I shouldn’t have

What papers you shuffle on a daily basis

Whose head is the next upon your capital’s chassis

A girl in business kind of fucks, honestly

There’s a real sense of urgency, a total harmony

Of cacophonous elements, black tie and glass paint

Paint coating a ceiling gilded to a gentrifying

Pointed sword, nasty—like all the bitches downtown.

Those women in make-up and pink fashion

Which either disgusts you

Turns you on

Or shames you.

Girl in a business suit,

The one with the short black hair

Are you the one we’re all gabbing about?

Someone’s making moves

That these ports can’t sustain

The Sidhes are leaving, and the golems are being

Pulverized to dust, as the dollar moves

And the electronica pours in

As those rich paratech babies swoop

To override the haunts of this city

The ghost of dead steel mills

Where the plains once used to be

Among parabolic wheat, as far as the eye could see—

And yet somehow, if it is you

I’ve got to admire the balls

Of someone willing to bare themselves

In public, of all spheres too,

When the dog of merchant glory is at the door

In all its conformative glory

I can’t imagine what your office is like

Do your co-workers consider you

Just one of the guys?

Maybe someday I should take you out

And show you a real time

A proper time

Before your guilt kicks in and I’m

Thrown out like the skank your mom thinks I am

Truly a moving work of art, a testament to the (thankfully still thriving) anart scene active out of our beloved Three Portlands. Being part Sidhe myself, it has been unfortunate to watch the decline of our culture over the past decade—our disco bars are no more, same fate as our whiskey pubs and magic mounds. There’s too many modified humans there now, not that I have anything against someone who can afford to modify their DNA to make their head look like a Doberman Pinscher, but why Three Portlands, of all places?

agreed with the above comment. when we will establish endogenic catgirls as an oppressor class

fr tho god this spoke to me. spoke to me so bad. arm yourselves plz if you live in 3ports and aren’t already shit is rough and we only have each other. friendly reminder your capitalist pig friends are ONLY good for fucking—but one day, we will fuck their office permanently, fuck all of their offices and their fancy valet parking; we will fuck with the biggest cock of justice that can be found and the biggest bat that collective action can create. mark zuckerberg i am coming for you
