I want a red dress as smooth as satin

and the hips to carry it off

I yearn for a world where it is ok to wear this dress



and not be afraid of either womanly jealousy or manly lust

I yearn for a world where women

walk anywhere without fear:



the crookedest darkest alleyways

the dense forest on the outskirts of a village

the brilliant halls of academia



with our heads held high

sassily wearing red dresses

to be boldly sensuous and to be taken seriously



at the same time

I want to shine and shimmer

until everyone loosens their grins and their spines



I want to shake my hips

in my flirty red dress

I want to dance with everyone and no one

in particular



I want a red dress as sensual as tango

as smooth as a waltz
