I shave before,
you know.

sometimes,
she too,
shaves before,
you know.

lets me watch,
gorge,
for somehow
someone forgets to slide close
the bathroom door.

I am offered

her shaving,
her body,
for me -
or
Shakespeare's Henry V
shaving my manhood
as no man could

"In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility:
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favoured rage;
Then lend the eye a terrible aspect."(3.1.1)

choose.  choice.
woman or war.
as I stiffen the sinews,
summon up the blood,

why do I not see the difference?
