Grown-Up Girl
When I was a lady
I learned to talk softly,
Sit with my knees together under my skirt,
& To properly apply my shell-pink lipstick (remember to blot!)
But now,
I am becoming a woman
So I am learning to strut,
Sit like a man in bluejeans
(elbows on thighs, hands clasped between knees)
To wear purple eyeshadow when I damn well please
& Drink & laugh loud & speak my mind
& To drive like the roads go forever.
