Maybe Not

my sister is certain men also have hormonal cycles and

i began to see her point the morning i woke up

without a hard on and went through the day feeling i might

burst into tears at any moment grey sky sticky air

always about to rain but didn't and i carried an umbrella around

like a barrister less muddy

waters' "mannish boy" than mayakovsky's "...cloud in trousers"


sunspots raindrops sweat


with one hand on the steering wheel

and one hand in your blouse

as the road curves a church steeple

resembles a cardboard cut-out

glued to the sky
