My friend Christy Warren just told me about your Substack. So glad she did! This poem. I was in NY a couple of weeks ago and as I stood on a curb waiting to cross the street, I noticed a lovely young woman next to me. She was striking. A delivery guy on an ebike passed just then and catcalled her. It was so alarming, as I haven't heard a catcall in years. It is indeed strange and freeing to be in my 50's, but I sure wanted to put my arm through hers and make sure she wasn't one who missed the lesson of not being nice to men who make her feel uncomfortable.
Hi Kerry, Thanks so much for being here! Thanks so much to Christy for mentioning O.W.L. Yes, those moments are so unnerving, aren’t they? I don’t think I was taught that lesson and I was always so scared in those moments. Good on you for having that woman’s back, even if she didn’t know it!
