She Goes After Her Man
She knows who she wants, so she goes after her man.
Able to convince everyone, she persuades as she can.
He is on an island, so she steals a Wyandotte’s canoe.
He tries to escape, but she ties him up with a lace from her shoe.
I am not interested, he says, I am taken, he lies.
She knows it is not the truth, she has talked to his guys.
She and his mother are in this together.
She marries him a month later, in downpouring weather.
