… crossroads: respect
hold the door open
not just for a friend,
charge like a boar
to be the first in..
hold hands tightly
to show where you
stand,
view of affection
not in the partner’s
plan..
pardon me
works any given day,
“watch out fool
you’re in the damn
way”
pull out a chair
so she can sit down
“my seat baby
why you trying to
clown”..
she wants to share
Dutch on the town
“stop being so cheap
all you get is a
frown”
understanding and diplomacy
to circumvent a sin,
pit-bull posturing
leads straight to the
pen..
tried it both ways
one seems to work,
one like a gentleman
the other like a jerk,
depending on the setting
either can bring dirt,
stand in a cool way
a mental paycheck,
please and thank you
leaving pride on the deck,
a motive to respect
could be the opposite view,
comes down to environment
which way you must choose,
whether it be the thug
or suburban exec,
love is the clue,
a personal asset,
no stride will you lose,
that is a sure bet,
money, fear, and sex,
are not true fulcrums of respect.
