When my female friends are left
By horrid spouses and lovers,
I commiserate. I send gifts-
Powwow songs and poems- and wonder
Why my gorgeous friends cannot find
Someone who knows them as I do.

Tomorrow." I think I'm engaged

That I can be just one more boy,
A toy warrior who explodes
Into silence and warpaths with joy. — Sherman Alexie
