It’s Easy

to take a woman in your arms
when she’s falling apart
if you need her
it’s easy
to pull her together

but you need the experience
to see
how easy

it’s the falling apart
not the remedy
that causes the panic

women
are not the creatures of comedy
they were supposed to be

they fear
the laughter     they doubt
they are taken seriously

and arms
assure them they are

it’s something you need to know
because
it’s easy
