Back Next Mona Lisas

The women took over this therapy
And they decided not to be
cold, and hard and detached
like the men
nor would they be
mothering
maudlin
pitying
types
like the women
hence they learned
to smile like the Mona Lisa
and sit stark
like Moses
at the sight
of the golden calf
Once I approached
one of these women
in therapy
she endeavored
to take my cock
plant it in the soil
and have it grow
into a tree
instead I cam
in my pants
and she dismissed me.
