What we would like to believe
and imply in calling women
"girls"
is that all women are
young, physically attractive
sexually desirable, available
and willing, and perhaps
with an implication of being placed
at a social, legal, or financial
disadvantage, so that they would
naturally as a matter of Darwinism
compete fiercely to gratify
our needs and satisfy
our wants - animal, rude,
classy romantic and
otherwise - with their
bodies, principally, their
physical presence, proving
we were right there, next
to her, same time, same place - though this
is by no means their entire purpose, or
the complete extent of their duties
which nature and honor impose
on them
(it's not us)
from time immemorial. However,
None of this is suggestive
of any attitude of superiority
towards, over, above, beneath
or especially behind
these girls! In fact it is we,
mighty, proud, rich
- and damn attractive
in that sense, if not exactly
'good-looking' - who consider
ourselves grossly, cosmically,
spectacularly inferior! Though we are
in all fairness, very nice. Still
they are goddesses. Unattainable
to be praised in abject ignorance
and obliviousness of their specific
attributes. They were bestowed
to us from on high, to be highly
sought after, rejoiced and fought
over. To be killed, or be
killing. We know
we are unworthy
- so naturally if they spurn us,
that stings. We curse
and threaten them in only
the vilest terms, to their face
or over phones, all as they've
just deserved! We are unworthy
of girls, women of this girlish
and perfect kind; we know we throttle
and trample ourselves and each other
in the dirt
and filth
and mud
they've just recently had
to walk through, we worship
there. Right where this precious
and special one only just trod,
barefoot and eventually pregnant
towards some picturesque perfect
kitchen.
In the future
we will always be more considerate.
It is part of the deal we offer
all girls. Every girl. One
would be fine
