blurred vision
raindrops falling from trees
unexpected bleach

I don't agree
with the politics of jiu-jitsu;
the calling-out of transwomen
(transmen are fine, thanks,
we can't really tell)
or the theory
that women can't fight
(I can't, actually, but that's not the point)
or shouldn't fight
unless there's money to be made
and then it's all come and train!
just don't expect to be taught everything
or offered equality. We'll offer a pink belt
so be content
and shut up.
Men are talking, love.
