No Bones About It

Is my masseuse a misogynist?

The way he makes me turn & twist

When I insist

I’m a feminist

He bends his wrist

To make a fist

To begin procedures on his list

And all this deep tissue stuff

Is that his deep ISSUE stuff?

Is he out of line

While adjusting my spine?

Does he prey

On my vertebrae?

I know his profession is my anatomy

But does that give him permission to walk all over me?
