Self-Portrait Using a Negative Pregnancy Test as a Microphone by Emily Joy Oomen

I sing at the top of my lungs the national anthem of vaginal joy
My voice a burst of neon
What’s more punk than belting into a microphone you peed on?
My uterus hits Mariah Carey high notes
And I dance like the Fourth of July exploded
Limbs candy coming out of a piñata
When the concert is over
I get a standing ovation from tampons.
