女生是不是都在想「有隻小貓卡在樹上下不來」？
三月是國際婦女月，但也並非只有三月，每次想到女性議題，我都會再開來聽美國女歌手 Ani DiFranco 的歌曲〈Not A Pretty Girl〉...

Ani DiFranco：不是正妹也可以開心地活著

音樂藝文

2015 年夏末，台灣最知名的披頭四達人馬世芳連續第三年帶團去英國，走訪披頭四相關景點，可謂道道地地難得的搖滾樂進香團。我看了兩年，也盼了兩年，終於在這年初下定決心去報名，圓我身為披頭四粉絲的一個大夢。

lyrics: 
i am not a pretty girl
that is not what i do
i ain't no damsel in distress
and i don't need to be rescued
so put me down punk
maybe you'd prefer a maiden fair
isn't there a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere

i am not an angry girl
but it seems like i've got everyone fooled
every time i say something they find hard to hear
they chalk it up to my anger
and never to their own fear
and imagine you're a girl
just trying to finally come clean
knowing full well they'd prefer you
were dirty and smiling

and i am sorry
i am not a maiden fair
and i am not a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere

and generally my generation
wouldn't be caught dead working for the man
and generally i agree with them
trouble is you gotta have yourself an alternate plan
and i have earned my disillusionment
i have been working all of my life
and i am a patriot
i have been fighting the good fight
and what if there are no damsels in distress
what if i knew that and i called your bluff?
don't you think every kitten figures out how to get down
whether or not you ever show up

i am not a pretty girl
i don't want to be a pretty girl
no i want to be more than a pretty girl

Just Like Her

 
她傾訴的話語宣洩仿若她喉頸動脈裂開
她的思緒似雕花玻璃卻缺乏妥善被照料
你想像她戴著一頂天鵝絨帽上插有黑羽毛，搖晃
取而代之的是她理光了頭，走上三天的午夜漫遊
有時她走下碼頭，在尾端盡頭舞蹈
這般輕而易舉去證明她所信的
那些無法行走在水上的人(其實是)缺乏想像力
 
當她殘忍無情時，她非常，非常

Ani DiFranco "Detroit Annie" poem by Judy Grahn

Full-program video (with downloadable audio) at Poetry Center Digital Archive: https://diva.sfsu.edu/collections/poetrycenter/12669

Introducing the piece as a poem “having to do with the two kinds of women that there are: older ones, and younger ones," Judy Grahn concludes her reading at the San Francisco Museum of Art on October 2, 1974, with “A Plainsong from an Older Woman to a Younger Woman," a poem that focuses on "feminine rhymes," before leaving the stage. Grahn shares the evening, and the recording, with Diane Wakoski, at this occasion organized by The Poetry Center, San Francisco State University. Poetry Center director Kathleen Fraser provides the introductions to the poets, on the full-program video.  #judygrahn
