The Eye of Change
Adam was given one set of eyes,
Eve was given another.
Adam saw not
What Eve saw.
Difference prevails today.
In a time when it is chic
For men to help with the dishes
And women to drive trucks,
Men still see no dirt in corners.
Women still see
No need to regularly check auto oil.
Women still see raised toilet seats,
And close them.
Men still see
No need to dress for dinner.
Women do men’s work.
Men do women’s work.
And still women do women’s work.
And still men do men’s work.
Change rarely changes completely.
Nella Rice. Communicator, 1989
