A Woman of Your Means

A woman of your means
has the means to set the tempo
to whisper the cadence into receptive ears
and not mistake a man's longing
for failure to appreciate
the feast you've laid out

You put up with my feckless meandering
two left feet going in opposite directions
unable to circle back to a point of consistency
how can I expect you to ask me to dance
when I'm separated from my own shadow
