For women only – a letter
Dear women,
I am obliged to inform you,
we are not equal.
We are the second model,
made from more refined material.
We are the ones who understood
the apple and the serpent.
Without us
he would still be naming the animals.
He’d be naming the animals
day after day
after day
after day.
Poor Adam.
Without us
he was lonely.
Without us
he would still be naming the animals
day after day.
We have a responsibility.
Isn’t that thrilling?
We have the responsibility of our gifts.
We are the healers of loneliness.
We are his relationship experts.
He has the responsibility of his gifts too
which he will give to us
in abundance
if we let him
if we value them
if we don’t tell him he isn’t good enough
if we don’t ask him to become another one of us.
