Two Hands

my wife has some lovely
Mother’s Day cards
from our sons
made at school

     Father’s Day
     comes after school is out
     for the summer
     I get store-bought cards

I think it’s great
that women and men walk
twenty miles a day
for three days
wearing pink

     it’s not the cancer
     that kills the most women

     and where’s the three day
     walk for prostate cancer?

this man is probably
too logical for you

     but I write poems
