In Macho Territory


When Guys say hi
they gotta know why:

Guys wave
truck to truck
bus to bus.

Guys dressed in
hunting bunting
wave car to car.

Guys wave
no-nonsense fleeting
roadside greetings.

But Guys don't wave
from grave to grave
in cemeteries.

Guys don't blow
a sloppy kiss
except to say
"Go sit on this!"

Guys in sports
are different sorts
they've proved their guts.
They fondle butts.
And what they do
would mean you're through
in macho territory

at least that's the official story.
