It's the 2026 Poem-a-Week Challenge (This is a *poems only* thread.)

Here

I tell her I'm aging out of this
This relationship
This experiment.
I'm growing, evolving
Solving the problems that haunted me
These troubles no longer consume my mind
My time reclaimed

She says I haven't caught up
Yet
Hopeful
That I can be the man she sees
When she looks anywhere
Everywhere
At everyone
But me

What she misses
-Is that differences,
Not experiences,
Defines 'us'
-Is that I am here
And she is not--
Not 'not yet'
As I always am to her
Just not
As she always has been to me

What she tells me
Is that we are in the same place
More or less
So long as I change.
I think we are in the same place
That we were
And we should go our separate ways
Again
Just this time
Not together

Castrated Future

Space Marines
Radchaai ancillaries
Jedi knights, Asimov’s androids
All of them -- ballless she-males.
Who needs sex
When taking it up the arse in on the table?
Imagine the damage I’d do
If only I could get there.
