August, 2003

Add another layer of ugly
So you didn't want me for my money
So what was it?
Because you wanted to mold me
Shape me, teach me
A clone of you that you might
Feel comfortable committing to.
Instead I once again
Sail under the flag of the
Totally single
Not much wiser
But older
And of course the quality
Men will want the
Spinster who never married
Never really coupled
I'm looking for a half
That doesn't exist
I'm looking at
Trying to play fair
But be true to myself
And not to waste
Years and energy
On someone
Who thinks
I'm a shrew
To tame.
