Built Differently

Woman or male.

Tasks shared equally

does not mean equality.

It means that those who care to do the jobs

they prefer can do so.

Physically males may be stronger

but that does not mean

Women can not lift anything.

Nor does it mean

a man can not be the caregiver

to the children.

Division of labour

should be just that,

a division that allows for changes

and leeway when the roles are no longer working.

Relationships can be strange

but when you communicate

it can mean the world.

To you or to them.

Not my Wedding

Friends getting married.

I will be there.

I wish them well.

Yet, emotionally I feel displaced,

unattached not all here.

I will watch and cheer them on.

I wonder if my own bitter marriage

is interfering in my ability to be happy.

I am happy for them.

I just don’t want to do it myself,

ever again.
