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.
