More Women Or Not

I have not been rejected exactly but,

not welcomed wholeheartedly either,

And ask myself: Is it Wisdom or Sin

to not want another woman? Quit.

I joke with myself: Are you over the hump?

You don’t want too much of a good thing;

Furthermore, I like living alone—

the convenience of it, the education.

Women are trouble: trouble to win,

trouble to live with. Life alone is less grief.

But this is where feeling alive comes in—

thinking of someone besides myself,

The World determining Life with me.

Perhaps if one falls from a tree.
