If goddesses had locker room talk,
they wouldn’t say things like:
I imagine Sita doesn’t talk about fancy beds
or sleeping on twigs during exile
as much as she talks about the
trauma of being abducted,
Panchali is in bed with Bheem
who still calls her sister-in-law
around his little brother Arjuna
when she wonders if her fate
having five men share her
like meat bought from a market
is never going to be about
'the younger one was better than
or 'I liked the twins the most’
not when she has other things to say
like 'I was on the second day
Dushasana dragged me by my hair into
the royal dicing hall and began
because my husband staked me’
I wonder how every time there is a
someone has to get offended
'poor men are being attacked
for just brushing past girls’
always asking 'why now when
brought it up then and there’
let me explain to you how oppression works since your
privilege doesn’t teach you:
you can’t expect us to talk
about how you put your foot
in our mouth when you had
and now that you’re off putting
your foot in other women’s mouths
DAMN RIGHT WE ARE TALKING
it’s going to be a fucking overkill
it’s going to be more attacking
it’s going to be 'you’re right, the whores are out’
and 'if you care about your
it’s going to be everything you call it
'extreme’ and 'dramatic’ and 'too much screaming’
it’s going to be Panchali
on the second day of her period
when Dushasana dragged her by
the very same Panchali who
