Stage struck babies wrapped
in purple passion tulle
try tearfully to tuck
their lacquered fine hair
back into ballerina buns,
as they
follow their leader, their leader,
whoever she may be.
A blue eyed bunny’s disguise
of make-up masks her childhood
as she twirls her wired ears,
poking her pretty little partner
hopping dutifully “too close.”
She’s just
following her leader, her leader,
whoever she may be.
Parents proudly pose with videos
already watching the screen
instead of the stage,
believing the fees, the costume costs
were all worth it.
Or were they just
following their leader, their leader.
whoever they may be?
Honoring historical and contemporary women who demonstrate deep courage and conviction in the face of trouble, turmoil and controversy through poetry, essays and quilting.
