Men who don’t listen
Who say gotcha, yeah
Having never actually heard a word of what was said
What was wanted
What was needed
Men whose ‘quirk’ is ignoring
Whose absentmindedness
Plays to laugh tracks in sitcoms, making shrews of women
Who want to be heard
Who need to be seen
Men who don’t listen
Who sigh with excuses
It’s just who they are, unwitting and passive arbiters of
What is important
Who is important
Women who talk
Who speak to be seen
Having never actually been heard, will then learn to believe
That this is just
Who they are, too
