Changing Sexes

It feels different with a man

than with a woman,

Like watching the race from a distance:

a fascination with the chassy,

mindless of the interior.

I felt no pain; I only wonder

What happens after you finally

Experience Something

that you've been expecting

and it's not what you thought it would be?

Being with a man is unlike

being with a woman.

It feels vague and foreign;

the engine purrs a little differently,

with a thankless ignition.

I would never let you see

That it wasn't what I thought it would be.
