<label>
				(for my sisters, a trilogy of revolution)</label>
				<lg>
					<l>There is no need now to rush about my life,</l>
					<l>I have time, each day, to unfold</l>
					<l>carefully, my rage —</l>
					<l>no longer impotent,</l>
					<l>But the most powerful force in the universe.</l>
					<l>(Do you hear me, Mother?)</l>
					<l>Slowly like a sunflower, like a tree,</l>
					<l>Revolution unfolds before me:</l>
					<l>Newspaper pages beginning with world news,</l>
					<l>and ending with the comics,</l>
					<l>and classified ads announcing the end</l>
					<l>of things as we know them.</l>
					<l>Inevitably the world, the nation, the city,</l>
					<l>the arts, society, sports</l>
					<l>and personals</l>
					<l>will be recycled</l>
					<l>By patient origamists, armed with love.</l>
				</lg>
			</div>

<div type="poem" n="II">
				<head>Questionnaire</head>
				<lg>
					<l>There is unfeminine (but oh, so Female)</l>
					<l>sureness in my hands,</l>
					<l>checking "No." to every question</l>
					<l>in the Harris poll, <title key="Reader's Digest" ref="http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q371820">Reader's Digest</title>,</l>
					<l><title key="Mademoiselle" ref="http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q738294">Mademoiselle</title>,</l>
					<l>I am an outlaw, so none of that applies to me:</l>
					<l>I do not vote in primaries, do not wish to increase</l>
					<l>my spending power, do not take birth control</l>
					<l>pills.</l>
					<l>I do not have a legal residence, cannot tell you</l>
					<l>my given name or how (sometimes very) old</l>
					<l>I really am.</l>
					<l>I do not travel abroad, see no humor in uniforms,</l>
					<l>and my lips are good enough for my lover</l>
					<l>as they are.</l>
					<l>Beyond that, no one heads my household, I would not</l>
					<l>save my marriage if I had one, or anybody else's</l>
					<l>if I could.</l>
					<l>I do not believe that politicians need me, that Jesus</l>
					<l>loves me, or that short men are particularly sexy.</l>
					<l>Nor do l want a penis.</l>
					<l>What else do you have to offer?</l>
				</lg>

<div type="poem" n="III">
				<head>I Argue My Case</head>
				<lg>
					<l>Gentlemen of the Jury:</l>
					<l>I have had the time and opportunity to appear</l>
					<l>before you in the guise</l>
					<l>(disguise) of every woman:</l>
					<l>to you, sir, I was the dumb hand</l>
					<l>that wiped your</l>
					<l>table,</l>
					<l>to you, sir, a flimsy black</l>
					<l>skirt on legs,</l>
					<l>to you, some hard</l>
					<l>down-on-me woman who might</l>
					<l>(or might not) yet</l>
					<l>be downed again.</l>
					<l>To him, an ass,</l>
					<l>to him, a breast, a leg</l>
					<l>to him.</l>
					<l>To that one, just another working bitch.</l>
					<l>To each, another history, to each</l>
					<l>another (partial) lie.</l>
					<l>We women are liars, you say.</l>
					<l>(It is written.)</l>
					<l>But you have made us so.</l>
					<l>We are too much caught up in cycles, you say.</l>
					<l>But your gods cannot prevent that.</l>
					<l>So we act out our cycles,</l>
					<l>one or many,</l>
					<l>in the rhythm of what has to be</l>
					<l>(because we say so)</l>
					<l>our common destiny.</l>
					<l>And so, before you are taken in by one of our</l>
					<l>perfect circles,</l>
					<l>remember also that we are in perfect</l>
					<l>motion.</l>
					<l>And when you (and you will)</l>
					<l>run counter to the flow of revolution,</l>
					<l>the wheel of women will continue to turn,</l>
					<l>and grind you</l>
					<l>so fine.</l>

			<p>Susan Saxe wrote this and other poems while she was living underground as a fugitive
				for 4½ years, during which time she was on the F.B.I.'s. <title key="FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives" ref="http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q1386729">Ten Most Wanted List</title> for
				"overall radical activities." On March 27, 1975, she was arrested in Philadelphia
				and since then has been tried for allegedly taking part in a Boston bank robbery 7
				years ago in which a policeman was killed. Saxe became "a feminist, a lesbian, a
				woman-identified woman" while underground. She is now in prison awaiting
				sentence.</p>
