about

Sexual perceptions matter. ... he said, she said ... ad infinitum.

lyrics

Terra Filma

In his twenties, he wrote a screenplay about war.
And the passions of men.
In her twenties, she wrote a screenplay about love.
And the passions of women.

He read hers.
She read his.

She considered him dangerous and cynical.
He considered her naïve and romantic. Innocent.

They watched each other carefully.

Under the Rules of War,
he considered her an easy conquest.
He felt he could easily deceive her
with the sweet talk of love.
She considered him a predictable fool.
She knew she could easily deceive him
with the sweet talk of love.

Under the Rules of Love, he considered he could protect her,
possibly own her, anyway, she would produce his children.
But, he knew, she would need the tough talk of men.
She considered he might be a useful ally, possibly a good investment,
and he would be more or less fiscally responsible for she and the children.
But, she knew, he would need the tough talk of women.

They both thought it over for a decade.
Then, each to themselves, they thought –
‘There’s got to be more to it than this.’

She started to read a biography of Nelson Mandela –
He turned on the T.V. and watched Oprah.

They both picked up the phone
and listened to the dial tone
for a very long time.
