he can manage his emotions in private

he can manage
his emotions
in private
the women
in magazines
make no demands upon him
he could not make even a shy move
towards getting what his body wanted
for fear of being rejected
he stooped so low
as to create an imaginary girlfriend
from pipe cleaners
he gave her a name
& messy hair
& with a fat felt-tip drew on some rosy cheeks
&
to make sure she was anatomically correct
he’d compare
the parts of the vulva and breasts
he had learned on Wikipedia
