Fake Eyebrows

I really can’t stand women who feel like

they have to bury themselves under

six-feet of makeup and drawn on eyebrows.

To be honest, if I did prefer women to men,

I’d date a woman who didn’t have a face

that reminded me of a painted mannequin.

I mean, the only thing I’d be able to think

when we’re together is, “What the hell

is actually waiting to come up from the

depths of the long-lash lagoon or the foundation

forest?” because I’m pretty sure it’s not

some sort of welcoming party.

And what about the whole traveling to

the bathrooms in groups thing?

Sometimes I have to wonder if there’s

some sort of secret society of warrior

women waiting to come charging out

of the lavatory and straight at me just

because I was born the wrong gender

in their eyes and that I have no idea

what they feel or who they are.

Women just terrify me at times.
