about

{ inspired by "Mexican Adam and Eve" by Alfredo Ramos Martinez }

lyrics

Good Mexicanas are afraid to take up space
Our Catholic guilt always reminding us that
Eve was created from Adam’s rib,
We are raised to be as small as possible
Bred to serve our fathers and brothers and tios;
Then our husbands

Our womanhood is defined by how subservient we can be
Because in our culture
A woman who isn’t controlled by a man is dangerous
A woman who has a mind of her own
For one brief moment
Eats fruit from the tree of knowledge
And doom us all

I think of Eve often
She gave us war and famine and disease
And art and love and literature
Did she really doom us?

Or are we just afraid of women who think
For themselves
