As Human Here as He

As Human Here as He  I am a man the woman smiled, unbowedAnd as a man I will be manlike freeI will be potent, powerful and proud We women-men will be a surging crowdThe world will stop, the world will pausing seeI am a man the woman smiled, unbowed For manly men should praise their lady loudTo see their woman thus like unto meI will be potent, powerful and proud “You charlatan,” he said, “you’re not endowed,”Go stand before the porcelain and pee”I am a man the woman smiled, unbowed Dear sir, desist, you can not make me cowedThere’s more to me than soft e’clairs and teaI will be potent, powerful and proud I will be man, I will, for I have vowedThat I will be as human here as heI am a man the woman smiled, unbowedI will be potent, powerful and proud
