Maybe Not
my sister is certain men also have hormonal cycles and
i began to see her point the morning i woke up
without a hard on and went through the day feeling i might
burst into tears at any moment grey sky sticky air
always about to rain but didn't and i carried an umbrella around
like a barrister less muddy
waters' "mannish boy" than mayakovsky's "...cloud in trousers"
sunspots raindrops sweat
with one hand on the steering wheel
and one hand in your blouse
as the road curves a church steeple
resembles a cardboard cut-out
glued to the sky
