I’m not smart enough for this poem. I’m very interested in the masculinity of females but I don’t see any of that in it? Also it is written by a dude I think? I’ll read it again.
I am still not smart enough for this poem. Can you suggest a new way for me to think about it?

No can do. I made a decision when I started this that all I would do is post the poem, without editorials or commentaries. Primarily because I use the posting of poems to learn about poetry. But maybe you can ask !
