can i come up and see your etchings

you can't whistle at an
attractive woman
anymore.
tell them they look beautiful
and sexy today.
you can't wink,
or check someone out.
ogling they used to call it.
you can't say anything clever,
like who's your daddy,
or can i come up and see
your etchings tonight.
you can't be a man anymore.
full of desire and attraction
for the opposite sex.
you have to stay glum and numb.
perfectly still with your eyes
forward, or closed,
pretending not see
the glorious shapes of women
that God made
wearing yoga pants,
or a dress revealing knees.
