The morning crowd

jo©

I am
untrammeled
unlike
all my
would be
suitors

they all
all
ignore
their
constraints
without
restraint

women

do you know
that at 7 am
when
I am driving
to give my sick mother breakfast
your man is
falling out
of his pickup
to look at me

not one
not two
just about
every one
the garbage man
the vitamin water man
the plumber
the potato chip man
a carpenter
and two cable guys

I'm not vain
I guess that's just
the way men are

A
blue CRV
and
shoulder length hair
does that

Men

Why
does
everyone
want one
?
