Women Help to Create the Kind of Men They Despise

Lambchop


Women help to create the kind of men they despise
Misery is often apparent of some affecting touches
That were composed under her name 
Or, the dignity of criticism
Increases the confusion in men

Her heart clenched, sexual
More breathlessly than if she had 
And felt she was equipped 
To understand them
The passage of time
Increases the confusion in men
I've seen it

She loved the spare texture 
Of his difficult, and sad books,
And felt she was exceptionally 
Equipped with Stanley Wilson's 
Distractions

Rug that opened as a well of color at her feet

Was everywhere, 
And the lamps 
In the middle of the day:
The low, 
Deeply recessed 
Casement windows were running with rain
And wet leaves.
