If nouns are men and women are verbs,
I take the view
it’s high time, dear,
I conjugate you.
If nouns are women, verbs are men,
who am I—an adjective, adverb, contraction,
not without gender. I’ve preferences,
still I am grateful
as long as I am a part of speech.
I love the word that keeps changing
like everything, you and me.
