GROWING

You do not hear me when I say I love
you. You know what I mean, so you shut
off.

DISAPPOINTED

A woman once asked me what it was like
being a man. What kind of man? I asked.
She gave me all the details so I took off
all my clothes and showed her. As I
dressed I could see she was disappointed.
Is that it? she sighed. I'm afraid so, I
replied. To cheer me up, she told me
what it was like being a woman, and I
was a happy man for about three days till
the memory faded.
