Manning up April 21, 2012

 

 

She shocks me again

 when she says how much

 she liked the feel of being a man,

 strapped up once

where she learned the power

of being on the other side,

 part of some test of will

in which she got to be what

 she normally isn't,

 not quite gloating so much

as expressing her awe,

 defying the old logic of

what is a woman's place

when then she got to feel how potent

 a force she can be

with a little help from her friends,

a strapped on device that is

much more than mere envy,

 my mind struggling to envision

 how she must have looked,

poised above the woman (I think)

ready to take the plunge,

her awesome eyes filled

with the look of awe,

being what she could not have

 imagined herself being

a man.
