Morning
VomitEvery morning an urge
of vomiting is happened It is a sense of being oppressed A trick is here
An intention to vomit but without vomit Such desire of vomiting is a
manifestation of fighting for suppression When the women without space
for any personalization They want to vomit expressing their inner struggle
for autonomy Controlling for vomiting is also taken place The
myth is that Women can make a relieve when intend to vomit They discipline
themselves not to vomit for being conformed bodies Morning vomit is a resistance
for being marginalized Night vomit is a prohibition of the exhausted women
who want to sleep by Zenobia Chan, student, The Chinese University of
Hong Kong 7 December 2001
