m.t. whitington


A force majeure, female catalyst, futurist, polemicist, psychonaut, epistemologist. Ruminating between the lines with a clarion call and extreme unction.  A global writer with southern roots.


define woman

define woman

the length of an m 

arbutus—

sweet strawberry tree

stay hungry, stay foolish.


I think it all started with adam

but the whole earth catalog

is a case study for misogynistic extremism,

what a tool kit,


the code of one and zero.

where one equals yes male

and zero no female. 13. 


count the last supper, SCOTUS.

imagine all the beasts of the bible

making the oceans ocean 

for the coming woman man…


lady, lady, lady locket

decline to define the word woman.


monuments of men looted,

taken as easy as divine femininity

woe is me, female put in the pocket


of a featherless plantigrade biped,

as if a progenitor had no mother.

sex redefined on the spectrum


the length of an m

arbutus—


I think humans are not prepared

for future shock flowering in spring,

still in the infancy of human history.


endorse the disruptive

one, two, three… 

declare the binary overly simplified.


in the kind exclusivity of man

such a word servant


extended to both senses.

a woman’s lover plays the game

with the man piece.


it is a mantrap to define.

little religious mouse, scurry away

with the hairspray cult losing control.


I am a variation.


an em dash— woman, she is undefinable! 

the fool’s locket

the fool’s locket
