Male Chauvinist, 1974

With the morning breaks
a new day and sunshine
sees the birds awake from
the stormy night of last.


For all days, the sun
comes out somewhere and
brightens up a dark corner
of the world with its rays.


The mothers of America
break open boxes of Kellogg's
Corn Flakes to faces of tired
and hungry people with eyes tight shut.


Then it's off to work for
the fathers, off to school
for the kids, back to
sleep for the mothers, and--


Peace until 3 p.m., when
school is out; supper at
6 for father, and it
starts all over again and again...
