Considering how much time I’ve spent

in the company of females

I look forward to the day

when I’m considered a subject matter expert

and asked by men,

what’s the secret?

–

Because there is no secret.

You just step back and admire

beautiful minds with relentless spirit

and nurturing ways.

Strong, caring souls whose antithesis is a heartless bitch.

And even she is a thing of beauty.

This is the eleventh poem of my personal 30-day poetry challenge to break away from the machine to think about things that don’t matter. I have no idea what I’m doing. – Jim
