Queen

Opinions on wombs
More than opinions
On gods divvy up

Human attitudes.
Who gets to decide
What to do with wombs,

One’s own or others’,
Who gets to decide
They don’t want a womb,

They’re not interested
In wombs or what goes
In or out of wombs,

Who gets to decide
They can ignore wombs,
They can’t ignore wombs—

Attitudes run hot.
Laws keep contorting.
Your world’s divided

Less by those who do
Or don’t carry wombs
Than by preferred rules

Governing bodies
Regarding the use
Or neglect of wombs.

And you thought human
Belief systems cared
For abstract concepts?

Bodily controls
On embodied lives
Contest in hive minds.
