I'm wrong-footed by the expectations I found
on the ground, for the set roles that male and female
should be, as they play their parts within scripted
ritual for the Anglo-Saxon courtship dance.
My chances of now getting it right are slim,
as I trim my behaviour to suit the new school's
rules; I'd be well-advised (it might be said)
to accredit you with a teacher's function to fill.
I'm ill-fitted for passive relationship -
stripped (as indeed it would mean) of the macho image
I timorously tried for size; and I squirm internally
in earning the mockery of those who hold me in default.
I'll hate it if a girl must hold my hand,
whilst leading to explore the Promised Land.
