Conveyor Belt

Confession of a Feminist

I am a feminist, he said.
I believe in equality
Except when it comes
To falling in love.

In passion there can be no equality;
We fall in love not with equals
Who eat and drink and yawn like us

But with people bigger than us,
With angels and demons
Who yank us out
Of our endless conveyor belts.

Philip John
