Why Can't the Constellations Pick a Constant or a Comfort

I only want a relationship to have a kid,
and if I have a kid, I want a boy,
and if a boy, I'll pass him the name of my father,
and after that, I'll raise him alone.

Why would a child need a mother?
Why would a husband need a wife?
If the body is lended for nine months
and we can let the woman be.

You​ have to feed them and walk them and buy them shiny things.
Or else they'll bark or chase another fox.
They make leashes for fickle persons,
but you don't like to pull her neck.

Screaming and yelling and watery eyes and fibbing.
And a feeling you can't shake that she was once your best friend.

Give me a son, and he'll have a son who will have a son.
Maybe the women will be better there.

Though as for me, it's a boy's world.
And there are too many phases
between the Cancer and the Moon.
