Tell her how to wear her hair

and she will cut and hack and paint it whatever color

you think is best.

Tell him he has spoken out of turn

and he will tear out his tongue, gouge out his eyes

if you think it’s for the best.

Tell them what is hot, what is cold

how far to run, when to sit and stand and they will do it

without question, if you tell them it’s for the best

because they are so much smarter then

me and you

without question.
