I, too, exist Men.


I am the feminine woman.

They send me to the kitchen

When the men arrive,

But I laugh,

I stay,

And I listen.


Tomorrow,

I’ll be wiser

When company comes,

Nobody’ll dare,

Ask me

“Do the dishes,”

Then.


Anyways,

They’ll realize how great I am,

And they’ll be rueful-

I, too, am a person.

This poem was written for a school assignment. The assignment was to write a mimicry poem. I mimicked the poem I, Too by Langston Hughes
