I do not like you
Or you or you
I don't care what your kids did last weekend
Or what you had for lunch
Or how you felt exhausted
After your Pilates,
If your husband
No longer gets it up
I understand
Why.
I
Don't care how you slept last night
Or that this is the worse possible time
For your latest issue.
You are wearing a new jumper
I comment on its radiance,
This moment of recognition,
Of your brilliance, will cheer you up,
Right ?
