PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

People ask me

if I’m an ass man

or a leg man

or a tit man

and I don’t really know

what they mean

Can’t I have a whole woman?

Am I really that bad

I can’t get a whole woman?

Only a part of a woman?

Geez, I better change

the odor eaters

in my sneakers

I don’t get it.

I’m sweet and sensitive

and attentive & compassionate

yet these guys

are trying to reduce me

to a mere part

of a woman

instead of a whole woman

Huh,

maybe length really

does matter

or maybe,

 God forbid,

it’s just me

that’s so bad

but if I can

only have one part

I don’t want

the ass.

the legs,

or the tits.

It’d really be

a coin flip

between

the brain

or the soul.
