“No Girls Allowed!”
wonder what
men say
when they’re away
from the wheel
leaned over the bed
of a Tonka truck
boot on the back bumper
spitting over their shoulder
laughing like teenagers
just turned 16
kings of the court
baseball braves
football phenoms
rock star waves
comedian crazed
wonder what
men say
do they whine like women
gossip like grandmas
argue like lawyers
curse like sailors
what is it
they’re trying to convey
as they talk and talk and talk
gasping for breath
punching at wind
recalling where all they’ve been
who, what, when
this universal thing
that draws men in
and keeps ‘em fountain fresh
