Sharon Olds

I couldn't do this anymore...

looking at this book of poetry
brought
some great fatigue.

I put it book down and decided
to wing it myself.

not that she was
a bad poet, but she re-affirmed all
the reasons why I never liked
female poets in the first place:
couldn't relate.

it's neither her fault or mine. it's
one of those strange
cheats of fate.

that and I don't have a vagina.
