Gender Musings
If I were a man I wonder how I’d be
Would I be considered soft less manly
Surely still a poet with passionate words
But maybe swayed by that leg the third
I’d watch women with denim different view
Maybe I’d still see me in them and you
I’d not know the pain of a monthly true
But I may know about balls so blue
Would I marry or be single for life
Would I have kids adopt or with or without wife
How much does gender affect our lives
And all the other boxes we check with eyes
I think I understand why some marry late
Living it up grand as bachelor is great
Dipping your oil stick in many lakes
Sewing your oats learning your taste
But for women the clock will tick
Unless they freeze eggs or adopt kid
If I were a man I’d likely be a pig
Until one special women made me dig
Dig deep into my male psyche
Find a connection to her like me
Where Yin and Yang mesh together
And wedding rings are fuchsia forever
If I were a man I’d wear the pants
But be careful not to burden romance
I think I would think women overthink
That men are direct and want simple things
I don’t know if I were a soul
Recycled and dipped in gold
Would I choose to come back again
And be born as woman or as a man
