Where My Girls' At? (A birthday rendition for Melba)

Who needs a man ?

When I have

2 hands

and girlfriends

2 lend, 2 listen

with open ears

and compassion

willingness

Who needs a man?

When I need

and there

they appear

uninvisible like him

whom I seek

Who needs a man?

When I stand

weak & bare

and here

once again

their presence

cloth me w/sincerity

there is strength in

their words, I'm strong again

Who needs a man?

I ponder this

question

When night befalls

When lonliness calls

When appliances

internally need 2 b fixed

A fix

A need

A man

I have 2 hands

I say again so

Who really needs?

differs from wanting

lusting

A man

A need

A fix

I repeat

I have 2 hands.
