FOR ANOTHER DAY 1975.A Poem by Terry CollettAN ARGUMENT BETWEEN A MAN AND WOMAN IN 1975Benedict never hit a woman but he came close when Netanya threw a cup at his leg during an argument and it felt as if she'd cracked a bone and he rose up at her and stood almost in mid air and stared at her knowing that had it been a guy he would have decked him with a right but it was she who stood there in her 5'3' height and he fumed through his nose and walked away and said if you hadn't been a woman I'd have put you down and she said didn't mean to throw it at your leg I meant it for your HEAD and that was it he went into the garden to cool down and she lit up a cigarette in the kitchen and inhaled death into her lungs he lit up and inhaled what he could of calming juice and after they'd cooled down she came out in the garden where he was sitting in an old deckchair and she kissed his head and said if you'd been a woman I'd not have kissed you like that and he said if you'd not been a woman but a kissing guy I'd have knocked you in the eye and she smiled and walked away and that was it for another day. © 2015 Terry Collett |
