| Notes | A lesbian couple have a quarrel in public while in Paris. While opening up questions of female desire and rage, the poem refers to the alienating situations LGBTQ people often find themselves in when in the public eye. References to misogynism, heteronormative morality, and masculine violence frame queer rights. |
