The woman who went too far (poem)

There was once upon a time

a woman

who went too far.

She was stopped

and fell down.

She was not the Humpty Dumpty type.

Slooooooooooowly

she gathered her pieces

and tried to straighten her back.

Despite million years of weight

pulling her down,

she managed to get up.

She stood up proud

and shook her hair.

She walked here, she walked there,

Until she went so far again.

So far is too far!

Said the men who loved her.

So far is too far!

Said the men who did not want her.

So far is too far!

Said the women who could not understand her.

Let’s go too far!

Said the women who were not afraid.
