New Poem Day # 5...

Today's poem details an important lesson I learned back in college about the dangers of inviting a female friend to a "guys' night."

Male Bonding

When I agreed to let

her go out with us

to the bar, she promised

she would act like

"just one of the guys."

But there was something

in the way she kicked

me under the table

every time I'd talk

to another girl that

hinted to me she'd

gone back on her word.
