There’s no valid explanation for her moniker.
Perhaps the disaster of her male dress
when high collars and long skirts
were called for.
Or her trek west atop horse,
fearless where others were not.
Credibility is called into question
when alcohol scents female breath.
Besides, we all know Wild Bill
would never fuck such a catastrophe.
That hero of American masculinity
and murderous spirit.
Truth belongs to history and sharpshooters
And you’re the liar if you disagree.
