i take the apple given me

and proceed to take a bite

i had to do something with it

it was given me by my wife

that rib that became a woman

has caused a lot of pain

and lick warm and sticky

her voice is different

smooth and high

and sometimes for no reason

she just starts to cry

her shape is different, too

(i must admit, that i like)

but i wish instead of woman

God had brought to me a bike!

or a boat

or some shoes
