What a Woman Wants

“All a man really wants, is a girl who looks good in a bikini.”—Jack Freestone All a “man” really wants is a “girl” who looks good in a bikini? All a woman wants is someone who really doesn’t care, or is it just to feel warm sea-side air caress her chest instead of nylon and play once again, summer child, outside a body of which she’s too aware, alive in movements unbound by eyes and unweighted by prudish gravity, to wade into the froth of waves breaking wild around her, an improvised dance that swirls in cadence to life’s rhythms, wise to no man’s guile, unresponsive to his gambit.

She wants someone that "really cares," even though she acts like she doesn't. Welcome to Poetry Soup, Ben. :) Brandy
