Complex
our lives
more so our wives
varied their dialog
directives at odds,
follow the implied
an art oft decried
lead to exchanges,
wrong connection
misinterpretation,
lucidity omitted
motives obscured,
leaves one guessing
what one should do,
today it is this way
tomorrow it is that,
yes women's minds
change frequently
thus consistency
vies with distraction,
court greener pastures,
cause emotional chaos
commitment is forsaken,
lives bound to be shaken
be wary, be alert
with signals mixed
hit the dirt.
