The Metrosexual

There he is again,
he-man of the new age,
feeling imancipated,
from his man-hood,
although his man-hood;
as an equal,
to his sex -
partners, and his god.

The he/she,
with his ,
girl power this,
hyper masculinity that;
world of woman’s suffrage of which has Electra --Complexed his sexual appetite
to an egalitarian sexual encounter.

Black man’s new Man?
Bra-burners new One?
Homo-sexual alpha male?
As the phallus of the goddess,
unto a new manipulation,
feeling a new pain,
underneath the medication 
and apathy.

Numb -
except for her/him.
