Slightly Bitter Xmas Eve Masculinity Poem

short notes sent in bits
saying thank you, thank you, thank you
for being the man you are
notes kept short because
there are...other men
with masculinities
not mirrored so much by me
with traditions of masculinity
that harm
still yet attract,
still yet warrant attention,
and time

thank you, thank you, thank you,
no time to talk
have to go
give time
and words
and heart
and tears
to the men
not so much like you at all...
