SUCH A WOMAN / John Grey

 

SUCH A WOMAN

 

A woman who knows

to intervene when her man’s

in a problematic situation…

 

with highly sophisticated

soothing devices

that treat bumps and potholes

in a relationship

with contempt…

 

whose fingers are tipped

with exquisite inherent therapy

and who impulses are designed

to manipulate both a man’s

motor responses

and also his emotional stress…

 

who delivers economy

without downgrading,

sensitivity free of sappiness,

and can be appreciated

to the fullest

only by a man

slumped over in his chair,

hurting and aching

and halfway to tears…

 

such a woman is…
