Seasons and Surnames

The seasons are for women;
Surnames are for men.
With a tooth-nail snarl you hear either
Corrode at itching hem.
The wind is tempest up her skirt,
The butterfly genteel,
Yet soaps and stones and potpourris
Remonstrate work of factories;
She'll find women made them all of leaves
Fit to her fingerprint.
But the wind
Carries word of hits--Gallagher, Palmer, Lundberg;
Man's blood under the collar
Is a prescribing mechanism.
The geodes of a woman's world
Pale to countless words,
Neologisms winged like bats
That lack the abdomens to churn.
He'll take grunts for plums
And groins for coins
And gaffaw for a saw;
He doesn't need to whip the world
Into a meringue skirt.
His eye is marbled just enough
To have the cake adieu,
And then it rotates--
Eat anew.
