Pity Bra

In March 2020 we went to go see Sleater-Kinney in Dublin I was standing in the crowd and I saw Ciara making her way through the audience And while I watched Corin sing to a full house In the corner of my eye I saw Ciara’s arm raise up She had taken Bev’s shirt right off her back and then hurled it towards the stage Front and centre We all watched in horror as it hit Corin Tucker in the head But sure it got her attention She asked, “Is that your band?” and proclaimed her admiration Then Carrie asked why she never gets underwear thrown at her like the old rockstars When someone offered to oblige She said: “I don’t want your pity bra!”
