Don't you know

He is a charmer by being withholding-
-You will suffer to feel him above you.

I pity you darling, I do.
I pity you.

Two Dichotomies

I am an epicene woman;
I will not trudge through short halls
Full of family photos,
Dribble on the walls,
Painted murals, scribbles
Of children I never chose
Or truly thought of.
Please do not ask me
What Time Is Dinner?
I wear the same watch as you now;
It ticks in more urgency
Than you have ever known.
