Poem

It’s not the first time I’ve said you are number one 
And she’s said you are number two
I never minded being number two
Or even three

But the pattern remains
I slowly find myself displaced 
Somewhere after the hair dresser or the cleaning lady

It’s the basis of war
I believe
All these men eventually  give up 

The game of fight or fuck
Make love not war

She doesn’t care
She has her mirror

There was a time when she was life
She hardly remembers it now

The dementia of women is different from men
There hearts go before their minds

The world has become soulless 

What do you make
Is a question of money
Not of life or love
