Woman Talk

around me there are
conversations I could not
participate in even if
I wanted to
which I don't
various women are swapping
tales about their pets
and husbands and children
some are bragging
about finishing their Christmas
shopping before Halloween
and some are discussing
Dr. Phil's latest book
or the shoe sale at Macy's
or the merits of their
daughter's basketball playing
from a good family boyfriend
and I am bemused and bored
eating candy and drinking another
goddamned Dr. Pepper which
always makes me burp and hiccup
imagining conversations about
anarchy and how one starts a
revolution in 2003 America
and how to masturbate
while looking at college coed Playboys
without feeling hopelessly
perverted.
