Waiting For A Woman
With Nothing Else To Do But Think
By: Jehangir Saleh
Written: April 6, 2003

Possibly
It’s only the anticipation we’re after
lingering moments
steeped in uncertain time
as you ponder
(while your nose drips)
whether it’s thoroughly
lubricated love
or merely
a chapped
dry, quick
addictive infatuation

reflection
will only blur
your current, preconceived
understanding
of togetherness
cause you to realise
hidden layers and
complications
stuff she said
you didn’t pickup
that’s better ignored
anyway

in short:
thinking is dangerous

instead:
be a man
arm yourself
with a subtle blend
of ignorance
and bewilderment
remembering that
if she leaves you
you can always masturbate
while watching
The Oprah Winfrey Show
to re-create
the marriage experience
if this poem confuses you
then, my friend
you’re way ahead of the game
