In morning light
we meet each other.
I coming out.
You going in

returning young children to their resting mother;
an evening spent, as was her wish,
around myself,
another man

than you who talks of auto parts
while I return with equal calm:
words
beside the myth dispelled,
a truth
our ages know.

No man
goes where a woman goes
no matter how he tries.

We understand:

your past neglect,
my none the less
affectionate,

is but between
the difference

in how we treat

the lie.

Interesting.  Just the other night it was spoken how women have this connection that a man just cannot tap into no matter how hard he tries - perhaps more so than the men's club women always speak of - I think it is merely the nature of the sex - and that even so, man and woman are a compliment to one another - each a little less without the other -

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

By the way..I am "Between the Lines"

sighing~~~until my recent years...I believed we did understand one another...

Then starting over you realize...it was never so
