Poem
Battle of the Sexes A Collaboration Between: Pandita Sanchez and Eric L. Boddie Written on September 30, 2015 As beautiful and smart as you are, you always seem to take it too far. I know some of it is just; but there is still so much that never needed to be discussed. It could be that you too often misunderstand me, overcomplicating and seeing life differently. They say men are from Mars and women from Venus, so things will never be simplified between us. Tell me, what am I to think - I mean, your mood changes within a blink; so much emotion can sometimes get in the way, you like pushing buttons - what's that shade of gray? One minute you say that I’m too emotional; then when I prove to be your equal, you call me irrational. Is it just that I’m way too much woman for you? And, perhaps, you really don’t have a clue? There you go again thinking you are all that; that's the reason we are always off track. I love everything about you, but I tire of the stress; and I can't calm you down unless I get you undressed. See that's exactly what I'm talking about - resorting to caveman tactics makes you believe you have clout; but you're no longer a boy, so you should know better, Boo, you're wearing me out with your commitment issue. You see, I just can't ever win. So don't stand there trying to pretend like you are faultless in all of this; but the blame always hits me - it has never missed. While I admit that I’m not totally blameless, I’ve been the one who‘s always willing to do more while you do less. In fact, like Rodin’s ‘Thinker’ you just brood over our problems; but I’m the mover and shaker who actually try to solve them. You know what? I am done with all this… I mean, you know I am addicted to your sweet kiss which, consequently, makes arguments hard to resist, all because there is not a feature about you I want to miss. So please just let me say - the indifferences need to end, and let's start anew today. Well we don’t need to be arguing all the time sinking into quicksand, if like two adults, we address concerns before they get out of hand. But in spite of what our differences may be, I know we love each other to the nth degree; and in the end, we know we’re worth it, and we’ll see, man and woman, we can work it out together, Baby, you and me.
