men are different

for women
it's not a one day celebration.
it's a week or two
week long
affair of gatherings,
and parties,
balloons and cakes.
the announcements before
hand
so that everyone knows,
so that everyone
comes and can join in.
it's
candles blown out,
tears and hugs.
gifts and flowers.
men are different,
they say, oh yeah, it
was yesterday.
