Objectify Me
i just think it is funny that
my body cannot be viewed
by a man
without him making a comment
i just think it is funny that
i have to cross the street
to avoid his words in my ear
i just think it is funny that
he cannot look at
my hair
my legs
my body
without sucking air through his teeth
and viewing me
only as the object
he believes i am
i just think it is funny that
it is 2017
and a man still thinks
that i was created
just as a pleasure
for him

You say you think it's funny, but I suspect that isn't really the case. In your place I think I would be pretty damned annoyed! I hope I'm not like these men you portray.
Not to trivialise it, but I couldn't view this poem without making a comment. I think it's a well written, but sad indictment on the male species.
