Freudian Confusions

Why would she want me back
If she doesn't like me? Women,
Can't figure them out, abstracting
The contradictions of experience,
Believing you a thing to be Known,
Understood, laid bare to first principles:
The fulcrum an axiom - you are
A problem to be solved and not - no,
Never - a mystery to be savoured.
This world has little time for mysteries
And logic without makeup wearing
Fuzzy bunny slippers - naked, but
Still not understood. Turned around,
Then: What do men want?
Even we don't know, only that
It involves you, invokes you,
Evokes you, and we want magic
Without wonder, and answers
instead of whispered promises.
