‘Vagina’ Sonnet - Joan Larkin (1975)
Is “vagina” suitable for use
in a sonnet? I don’t suppose so.
A famous poet told me, “Vagina’s ugly.”

This whole thing is unfortunate, but petty,
like my hangup...

b) “You smell like a new car.”
c) “You don’t sweat a lot for a fat lass.”
d) “You look like you’ve lost weight.”
you better respond with a gigantic fuck you and storm the fuck out, I swear to god.
