makes sense to me
another of the all-inclusive
satisfying
ways
to explain
things
I’ve seen a few
like college
first year
they told us
history
humankind
women
the first gods
because
they had monopoly
of the secrets
birth creation
she’d go off in the bushes
come back with a baby
then men woke up
to realize
their part
copulation
precedes conception
no men no babies
backlash with a vengeance
change the altars
male domination
ever after
even now
explains a lot
and now science
supplements history
looks at the brain
two lobes
right left
left brain
wears a suit and tie
brushes teeth
is neat
orderly
hygienic
wants to know
explanations
plays chess
right brain
less tight
sings
accepts amorphousness
already knows
both sides
work together
through
a semi-permeable
barrier
right brain
provides visions
left brain
works out how
left brain goes to school
right brain goes to life
sometimes
each
blocks
the other
says no
they drag their feet
dig in their heels
pull opposites
to exhaustion
sometimes
they get together
to a yes
teachers
at the barrier
(yes
still me)
bring art across
right to left
and teach
the scientists
to dance
and left to right
help the intractable gut
make sense
