Prometheus 6

This weekend's poem is actually a matched set, and possibly the only poems I've written that benefit from an introduction.

Once upon a time, before I took an honest look at myself and realized I wasn't the one to properly advise folks on such matters, I spent some time thinking about relationships. I was very linear and rational about it, searched out what looked like universal need, though I only ever proved it applied to me.

Wrote a poem called From the Man To the Woman.

Tried to flip it, write what The Woman would want to say to The Man. Couldn't do it...which was actually the start of that honest look. What I would up with was what The Man would want to hear from The Woman. Despite the title, there's really no woman's perspective in it at all.
