Last night in the last hour
Before the closing of official business
A man told me that
The best things about me were
My intelligence, my wit and sharp acumen.
He went on to say this was tragic, because
The only thing a man really wants from a woman is
To push her face into a pillow and have her
Look good from behind.
He said, "You are a queen, and you deserve better."
But according to his theory,
I would be sorely disappointed.
I was unsure whether to be
Sorry for him or
For myself, for
When it comes to matters of the heart,
And of men and women and the tenuous strings that
Bind them together,
Sometimes,
The truth cuts far more deeply
Than a lie.
