Editor's Note: Washington Free Beacon ombudsman Biff Diddle recently submitted the following poem as part of his adult education coursework at University College Isle of Man. It was inspired by Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson's inability to define the word "woman" during her Senate confirmation hearings. Enjoy!
what is a woman?
a word like "woman" needs
neither context nor degree
in english or biology
to cop a feeling
of its meaning
to believe
is seeing. . .
when her bosom heaves
and body writhes sublimely
tickled pink as orchid leaves
unleashed on linen sheets
skin slithers glistening
lascivious obscene
serenity achieving
heavy breathing
every breath
believing. . .
"woman" is a word with meaning
never mind the word "competing"
college tries and cheap regalia
races "won" by cheating
chiseled deltoids
clashing genitalia
feats beyond comparing
swimsuits scintillate unsparing
fairness flouted in a sheath of shame
difference dwindles our sanity same
words are for nerds it's only a game
pathological cosplay deranged
democrats in disarray
trust the science
we believe. . .
a word like "woman" needs
no place in history between
the dawn of time and generation z
...the world and me and white fragility
the suffragettes' insufferable supremacy
the racist notoriety of r.b.g. yas kween
sojourner truth for what it's worth
a reckless unrepentant t.e.r.f.
whereas real heroes strive
to cancel comedy
to will a world
where boys give birth
and menstruate mightily
dominate the pool and jeopardy
we'll clap our hands and call it "equity"
wither femininity we'll teach the world to sing
lampoons of lin-manuel miranda's latinx apostasy
the loudest voices get a fucking ivy league degree
and gender-neutral sex dolls for "anxiety"
executives in training corporate simps
for china's muslim genocide
designer slave providers
but at least they
don't say
"don't
say
gay"
