1950’s Heteronormative Construct by Michelle Sellers

Of why little

Girls get sent

To stand in the

corner of a

 

Classroom.

That has no room.

 

Create a collage

Girls

cut out pink plastic

Kitchen sets.

 

Boys talk loudly

amongst themselves

About robots that talk,

Transform, build and

glow.

 

A wish list for

Christmas

For wanting

For wishing

The other.
