Gender-neutral, or: Girly

A Golda

Programmed
by our
society,
her
favored color 
is pink

But why?

'Twas
Mamie
 Eisenhower
who changed the way
folks think.

Let’s write poetry together!

When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.

–Ben Harper (b. 1969)
