Only late in life
That men always seem to
Talk of women
In a vague,
Impressionistic way
As in
They are happy when
Women are scurrying around
Wearing smiles and colorful clothes
Or weaving in and out of the kitchen
(Apparently) lending each other a hand
The details of it
Whether the women
Are actually smiling
Or just conniving
Whether they are helpfully
Lending each other a hand
Or pulling each other's legs
Behind the scene
Doesn't matter to them
All that matters
Is the impression of
Smiling colorful women
Milling around
And it is the same with negativity
When they see the women unhappy
Or quibbling
All they care is that the quibbles
Should be gone
They have no idea
And no interest
In knowing what exactly
The women are unhappy about
