Nuances of the Subtle Hint

Nuances of the Subtle Hint,

the miniscule change in body language,

notes left in seemingly random places,

a well-placed sigh

shrug of the shoulders

muttering half-lies while

eyes roll up into the head

and the body closes in on itself…

these carefully positioned clues

are missed entirely by the male population of the world.
