Clark has got it all Wrong about women, And you being a woman Know this, but being in Love with the guy you let Him think his knowledge Is good and on the ball, But underneath you think, One day, Clark, you’re Going to find out just how Wrong you are, and sitting Back smoking the cigarette, Watching him trying to open Up an orange, you wonder How it is that men have got This far in evolution without Knowing the essence of women, Without quite grasping the facts Of the so called weaker *** Without delving into the core Of the female psyche. Clark Peels the orange like an ape, The back of his hairy hand wipes His mouth, his tongue hangs out In concentration, the orange Peeled and broken into small neat Segments is offered to you with The same degree of seriousness That he produced on hearing the News of the JFK assassination Back in 63 looking up from you In the process of copulation and Staring at the radio as the words One by one filled the heated room, Each word punching home a sense Of dark gloom. Clark’s got it wrong About women, but he did peel the Large orange ok, what more can a Girl ask for, you muse, what more Can a girl in love with a man say?

ABOUT WOMEN. (2010 POEM)
Clark has got it all Wrong about women, And you being a woman Know this, but being in Love with the guy you let Him think his knowledge Is good and on the ball, But underneath you think, One day, Clark, you’re Going to find out just how Wrong you are, and sitting Back smoking the cigarette, Watching him trying to open Up an orange, you wonder How it is that men have got This far in evolution without Knowing the essence of women, Without quite grasping the facts Of the so called weaker *** Without delving into the core Of the female psyche. Clark Peels the orange like an ape, The back of his hairy hand wipes His mouth, his tongue hangs out In concentration, the orange Peeled and broken into small neat Segments is offered to you with The same degree of seriousness That he produced on hearing the News of the JFK assassination Back in 63 looking up from you In the process of copulation and Staring at the radio as the words One by one filled the heated room, Each word punching home a sense Of dark gloom. Clark’s got it wrong About women, but he did peel the Large orange ok, what more can a Girl ask for, you muse, what more Can a girl in love with a man say?
