a poem for lindsay

they're only here for a cigarette and then they leave

some say short-tempered
some say one-minded
we say unaware and unappreciative
of what we females are going through.

i understand "females" are more emotional,
sensitive, "crazy,"
but why aren't you?

we are in the same situations

together.

we have the same questions

together.

we wonder where this is going

together.

and yet you sit there, playing games
and making jokes with your friends
together. without us.

and it's fine....







.......to you.....
