It's a woman's prerogative
To change her mind,
Because she can want to
And not want to
All at the same time.
Because there is some strange call
To come and swim upstream,
To be caught in a moment of hormones
And the gleam of another salmon's walleye.
And yet because there is some higher logic,
Some greater sense that one cannot
Make a dollar out of fifteen cents,
Or a silk purse from a sow's ear
Or a kangaroo,
Or chicken salad out of chicken poo,
Or enlightened progeny
From DNA that's stingy or unkind.
And so, yes,
It is a woman's prerogative
To change....her.....mind.
