My Fair Share

Poem 5, August 12,2023

Long ago

A girl was asked

how much?

Her reply:

“My fair share.”

I want that too.

My fair share.

Relationship mutually.

Not 50/50.

Tit for tat.

Simple equity.

Life in the do,

Not in lip service.

Behavior doesn’t lie,

But sings

I love you.

Is it too hard?

Is it wrong?

Equity?

Simple politeness

Joyful reciprocity?
