CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR: of the EBook THE BULLIED, by Alan Johnson
In between reading
I stare at you
And you notice
Even though you are watching TV
You glance (But it’s not
A what does he want glance.)
And I pretend to be interested in reading
Until a commercial break
And you rise from the sofa
And come to my chair
And from my lap
Plants kisses and talk,
Do what a woman does
When she’s glad
A man is her man.

CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR: of the EBook THE BULLIED, by Alan Johnson
In between reading
I stare at you
And you notice
Even though you are watching TV
You glance (But it’s not
A what does he want glance.)
And I pretend to be interested in reading
Until a commercial break
And you rise from the sofa
And come to my chair
And from my lap
Plants kisses and talk,
Do what a woman does
When she’s glad
A man is her man.
