Female, you thought

[PrinceMyshkin]

Female, you thought stumble
and there would be arms
to steady you and a voice
to say, "Peek a boo--
love!"


Male, I thought maps
could be read down
as well as along
the heart's cross-walk.

An interesting poem with one obvious flaw - come on Prince, no man worth his salt would ever consult a map ;)

Nice poem. I wonder if it would work better 'Woman' and 'Man' as opposed to 'Female' and 'Male'?

Good to see you put the woman first ;)
