I am common--
I don't put on a pretty face
When I walk out the door
I don't paint my lips or fix my hair
When I go to work
I dress sloppy like a wino, a bum
I don't bleach my hair
Or wax my legs
Or work out at the gym
I don't watch T.V.
Or fall at the altar of Oprah
Or adhere to just add hot water philosophies
I don't drink diet cola
And I chain smoke
I ride around in an '89 Ford
Without designer sunglasses
I am invisible to men
Despised by women
But I am strong
I am Venus and Athene
I am Isis and Kali
I am life and a spinner of magic
Pandora and her box
What drove Prometheus to steal the fire
And the flame itself
No one can extinguish me
I am all
I am common
