Completely Safe

Holly Day



Nobody can screw with me because

I’m old and fat now and

I can walk down the street in the middle of the night

And nobody will stop me. I can go up

To any nutcase on the street and ask

For the time or a cigarette

And they won’t say anything about my ass or my tits

And they’ll probably call me “ma’am.”

I may not stop traffic with my beautiful hair

Or be invited to private islands by exotic millionaire playboys

But I can go to the worst part of town any time I want

And make it back home, safe and sound.
