We had boxes for Go-Go dancers
On the dancefloor
Some girls would climb up to dance
I told them, to avoid liability issues,
To get down
They put their hand out
For me to help them down
I walked away
They yelled at me in Spanish
They climbed on the box
On their own
They can get down on their own
I treated them the same
As I treated the men
Equality
Women have yelled at me
For opening doors
Saying they’re not weak
They can do it themselves
I hold doors for men too
I’m just being polite
And respectful
