keep up with me

when women
want to flex their arms
and show
you their muscles. run.
you have entered
a contest you can't win,
or tie. 

they hold up their ribbons
and medals,
trophies, thinking this
will catch his eye.

and when you hear 
the words,
let's see if you can
keep up with me.
again, run. there will
be no fun, not now
not ever, until the day
you die.
