Love, Lose, And Repeat

S-L-U-T

I can call anyone an asshole and everyone can be a dick. Strangers on the street can be piece of shit and both boys and girls are pricks. But slut is a word just for girls. Girls with long legs that permanently part at the hips. Girls that wear short skirts and don't stop anything until it hurts.

They touch a lot and flirt with faces; they wink and smile and wear nightgowns paired with light laces--they wear thongs. They have tramp-stamps on their backs of Chinese symbols that they thought meant love but really mean crack.

I could tell you they talk a lot about their boyfriends or the ones they used to have, but it's all just rumors harvested about how they tease boys into bed. Sluts laugh and play and fling their hair and they swear they give the best ---

Slut's have a history, an outstanding tradition. It has seven sisters: whore, floozy, hussy, harlot, prostitute, tramp, vamp. All employed to label leggy, sometimes sleezy, victims with a stamp saying easy. But, they don't need a stamp, they'd tell you that themselves. They like to be kissed and pet if you get them drunk enough they will invite you in even if you just met.

Slut is just a word for girls. It was made to make girls feel shame or maybe give them someone to blame for unstable ethics involving boys and girls. Girls, because it reminds them society will confine them back into their place like gravity. Boys, because it gives them a word weapon to throw from far distances like grenades. Girl has sex. Slut. Girl gets tattoo. Slut. Girl says no. Slut.

Whats the word, if I want to call a man a slut? man whore, man hussy, does that make a man, a man slut? He might lack the tramp stamp and the super-sized breasts, but I bet that he is as self-serving and more vain then the rest. Men's behavior is biological but women they're logical so women choose behavior and men cruise on them like low standards.

Sluts are stuck in the big bad Woolf's brick house he stole from piggy number three. But sluts, bust out of the house, blow it to sky, take a wrecking ball and swing it high. Try dynamite, try explosives, grenades. They could get out and wait for stigmas to fade. And realize they separate sluts so they can separates sexes.

What if slut was just a four letter, a one-syllable, word. Slut, a person who likes to sleep with strangers. Slut, lips sponged with alcohol. Slut, someone judged on misplaced moral outrage. I'm a slut. You're a slut. He, she, they, are all sluts.

Why should slut be a bad word? Why is it constricted to being handcuffed to Shit as the other S-word. What if slut wanted to be railed across metal train tracks made from both sexes. Slut doesn't want to deal in double-standards. Slut has manners.

You know what Slut is spelled backwards--Tuls. It rhymes with seagulls and skeleton skulls. But front ways its a serious threat. Yes. The word that sounds like, gut, putt, mutt, and butt, is too serious to be said, or maybe we are the ones that take ourselves too seriously instead.
