The young dads are afraid
to make eye contact with me
in this well-to-do neighborhood
not like the older men
with lots of money
and less to lose
very available eyes
I avoid to incur good karma
when the time comes
when I'm an old wife
with an old husband
(with lots of money?) and nothing to lose.
But the young fathers
feel how fragile this is
and they want to be exemplary
after witnessing the miracle of life
they try to heal
dopamined minds
and scrub the porn they watched
as teens
or yesterday.
Young fathers, please see me
as a person and a friend
I’ve never been in an actual orgy or even a threesome
and I bet nobody here has either.
That’s not what I want.
All I want
is to look into your eyes and smile.
