the wonderful few

most of my life
women
have been telling me
what to do.
mothers, grandmothers,
teachers,
lovers and wives.
they've been telling me
what time
to be home,
who to hang out with,
where to go.
what to wear, how
to comb
my hair.
do this, do that.
don't be late, chew your
food,
sit up straight.
is there one that i haven't
walked on eggshells
with.
some.
not many but
a glorious and wonderful
few.
