Have you ever seen the drunkeness in a man's eye?
It's the rage of a woman wanrtng to unleash
the agony sublimed into a pet-talk of her non-existential screams
in a group of people at a cocktail party.
yes, control, the constipation that is, or is it
the slut of a man protecting his ego the size of his penis?
it's a brawl.
A broken fist maybe, an open jaw perhaps, a disfigured face,
and the humiliattion.
is it really not a waman's misery you see in a man's eyes?
but sometimes this misplaced primitivity defies
our hypocritic norms we endorse as our "logic".
what has a woman got to do with agression?
but the irony will be blamed on a woman alone;
forbidden, unacceptable, perhaps even psychotic.
if she is compassion; a beating heart; a nurturing soul and tears of despeartation.
then what has a man really got to do with it?
