buttonhole

you don't even see
the misogyny
as you buttonhole me
as you mansplain the thing
that I said first
but you dismissed
because?
my purse?
my pursed lips?
my lipsticks?
you say you'd say the same
regardless of my gender or name
but i see you interact
with respect and tact
with those who have
not a purse but a sack
