the woman plants her garden
all in one pot
ivy, grape vines and roses
intertwined on the trellis
withhold water from one
and all will wilt and wither
but a man's garden is planted
in neatly marked out rows
peas in one, tomatoes in another
and beans lined up in a third
should the peas fail to flourish
the beans will still grow
the man will not long for peas
nor forsake tomatoes
for the lack of them
and so it is the same
with men and women
when it comes to
love, intimacy, and sex
*with apologies to both genders for gross generalization
