Le Femmes, Fatally... (For Lori Ann)

Ladies - don't deny the power
you have over us, for you may
be the weaker sex per se,
we men are weak,
for sex from you

From midnight getaways on
cast-off beaches, to midnight
runs for Advil and tampons,
we are but at your beck and call,
your boy-toys in waiting

No task too demeaning -
really, we love spending time
with your mother, and lugging
your shopping bags at the mall
is but exercise we need anyway

But be warned: wield your powers wisely,
for though you have us wrapped
around your beautiful fingers,
we will defy you if we are
never granted, from time to time...

...silence.
