Plays Well With Others

Men love me, you know.
It's true.
I can laugh with them
Tell crude jokes
Share derisive sneers at the foibles of the famous
Bantering witty remarks
While swigging drinks.

That's not to say I'm masculine.
Not by a long shot.
The drink I swig has a sugar rim
And the gifts that good genes gave me
Run from burnished skin,
firms breasts and long slim legs
to a sensuality that even women comment on.

I'm open, yes, and fun, yes, and full of yes...
And yet
Something holds me apart.
Something lets men feel affection without connection
Appreciation without attachment
Desire without commitment

And when they leave my side
to return to their lives,
The high praise each one gives me
As he smiles before he goes, is:
"You're fun to play with"

Yes, I know.
