a man feels he has to stand for something 

which my brother would say is 

worrying what people think ... 



******************


its like of on their terms 

thats because they havent been 

permitted to develop 




*************************

and men do have sensitive feelings 

in fact most of the songs and poems witten 

throughout history are written by men 


*************


a mans right to be vulnerable 

yes we can't have it both ways 

either a man is allowed to have sensitive 

feelings or he isn't ... 

like he's supposed to lump it when his children 

are taken away and just soldier on 

n we wonder why he forgets birthdays ... 


*********************

n again its an historic work on masculinity 


to me pornography is when i buy 

a cd of people i don't know 

having sex which i have 

done on occasion 

n is not really pornography 

is something else 

n i am to try a new tack 

where its ok to have 

cover versions 

n its ok for me to 

move on from them ...

Scarey has done a very impressive piece 

about fatherhood and masculinity 

a mans right to be vulnerable and uncertain ... 

to be wrong to be flexible excellent 

its slightly spoiled by the sarcastic remark 

about pornography 

Scarey if your idea of marriage 

is watching cover versions of your wife 

that is fine ... and so is the right 

to not like it ...
