Poems

So at least that’s fair

So
From what I’ve read of Russian Literature
It appears that it works the same way for most guys

That any womanly shape
That it’s just the shape
Something about it
It’ll conjure up certain emotions

Oh yes
So long as that shape belongs to
Someone young
Of course there has to be
That cruel additional fact
Well cruel from the perspective
Of us women

And from what I’ve learnt of my own experiences
It seems that for women
Or at least me
Cruelly
It’s only one specific set of eyes
Or one specific smile
At any one specific time
That works

The only thing
That makes it somewhat fair
Is that in either case
You can’t choose
Who that youthful shape
Or who those eyes
Belong to

The owner of said shape or eyes could be the most
Belittling
Judgemental
Unkind
Unempathetic
Person

Or maybe that person could be okay
But just not good for you
Because they take up all your thoughts
When there’s no future there
Because you’re two
Completely
Different
People

So at least that’s fair
