Women Suffrage

Was this imbalance malice or silence?

19th A on an August day

Uncast ballots to engross presence in a mind viewed skewed

A gap in population not earning representation

Effeminate degenerate

Frills, household skills, brain of rubber eraser and embroidery floss, just a cause that’s lost, but barely pursued

Half of us born with god-given aptitude

It’s hard to think in terms of time

Whether it’s easy or hard to handle it was 1920

Was that near or far?

Daisy Buchanan could cast a ballot,

But barely drive a car.
