You are popping your buttons and expelling gas.

when you are so middle-aged and lower-class.”

“I have no connections here; only gusty collisions,
rootless seedlings forced into bloom, that collapse.

a wind-up plush dodo, a wax museum of the Movement.
People want to push the buttons and see me glow.”
—Marge Piercy (b. 1936)
