Title: Girl At The Punk Show
Post by: Q. G. Pennyworth on January 31, 2016, 02:15:13 PM
These are my two feet
My personal space
The spot where I stand
Where you cannot be
This is the space I take up.

These are my two boots
On this grimy floor
Holding my ground
Without apology
This is the space I take up.

I will defend it
With elbows, with fists
With a snap of my head
With a shove of my hips
This is the space I take up.

You cannot be here
I will not leave
Unbroken, unbowed
And still on my feet
This is the space I take up.

I like this.  It speaks to me at the moment.

Glad you like! It's been stewing for a couple months, I think it might be done.

Nice. There's always at least one cretin at gigs that has no awareness for the rest of the crowd. Elbows, hips and good footing are invaluable skills for life as well.

HELL YES. I haven't been to a punk show for a while, but I remember defending my 3 square feet of territory with the meanest damn elbows I could throw.

Yeah. That's more great work QG! I'd say it felt complete. Gave a strong grounding sense as well. Defend your turf, it's yours!

I liked the part where the men around me got hyper confused because I was defending my husband (who as a bad back) instead of the other way around.

Also got confused that I was succeeding at it.
