He is young and brave
Makes me feel my age
Equally able to charm the whole room and exasperate
I’m in the middle of
A word, he interrupts
To tell me what a hero the man in my story was
Then cowers when I counter: I am not a subplot
This calm fury
This is controlled burning
Don’t take everything so personally
Stay in the blackline
In the firebreak
He’s long in the tooth
Makes me feel my youth
Who am I to stand up here and speak to power about truth?
Could hear a pin drop
I’ve thrown the whole room off
Some woman cutting down the patriarchy, is it tough
To put up with this malarky when you’re one of the good ones
This calm fury
This is controlled burning
Don’t take everything so personally
Stay in the blackline
In the firebreak
I’m not after war
But we need to do
a little forest maintenance
Have some faith
That’s all I’m asking for
This is just calm fury
