Sex Roles: A Natural Nastiness Poem

"I get more lovin'
from a dum dum dummy
than I ever got
from you."

--popular song sung by Louis Armstrong




There is no doubt to me
that a man can create
a wonderful girl.
Men have women in their minds
as often as beating each other up.
Making females is a permanent habit.

I could be satisfied
with the woman created by a man.
She would be free of the dusty imperfections
that nature imposes on creatures,
and do the things which make her creator
love her. It would work on me too.

Women never bother making men.
They never learn how and don't care.
Women are satisfied being themselves
and that's
not enough any more.
